Contemporary Literature (CEFR C1), ONLINE

The course focuses on the study of literary works written in English from the late 20th century to the present, aiming to explore the diverse themes, styles, and perspectives. The introduction to the course provides an overview of contemporary English literature, discussing major literary movements, themes, influences, and some key literary figures. We will later explore the thematic and genre diversity by reading works from different contemporary authors from English-speaking countries around the world. Students will learn some key terms and vocabulary for analysing and discussing literature and become familiar with literary elements and devices such as plot, character, setting, and point of view, as well as different narrative structures and storytelling techniques.
