Learning outcomes

The course aims at offering a general introduction to the main concerns and theoretical issues of the discipline through the critical reading and analysis of representative texts of colonial and postcolonial English literature.

Program

“Passages to and from the Empire”

Introductory lectures will be devoted to the literary and historical background of the Imperial and Postcolonial age. Later, by reading and elaborating on the texts students will be presented with the literary definition of English identity or “Englishness” and the rhetorical and ideological dynamics of its construction, codification, fragmentation and redefinition during the age of British imperialism and over the following years of its loss of power, of de-colonization and “reverse colonization”.
Non-attending students are required to follow the primary text and reference lists recommended to attending students and to complement it with the supplementary reference list
