This lecture is a survey of the literary production and its cultural context starting with Modernism (1890s) and ending on reflections on the state of literature and culture in contemporary Britain.
The lecture is designed for you to be exposed to texts and ideas, and you are encouraged to ask questions and voice your own interests.
Taking notes is essential for engaging with texts and ideas, and there will be a short introduction to the art of taking notes in the first session.


N.B Due to the corona pandemic we will not meet in the first weeks. I encourage you to engage with the material along the lines of my suggestions didtributed via email.
