This lecture course addresses major literary and other filmic/medial texts since the end of World War II, texts which commented (and still comment) on and are parts of the United Kingdom’s and Ireland’s cultural histories. Since the cultural production of this time span has to a large part been of a visual nature, we will also analyse some films and TV series.
We will discuss selected works by the following authors, scriptwriters and directors: Dylan Thomas, Graham Greene / Carol Reed, William Golding, Samuel Beckett, John Osborne, Allan Sillitoe, Ian Fleming, John le Carré, Stevie Smith, Philip Larkin, Muriel Spark, Anthony Burgess, Doris Lessing, John Fowles, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, Alan Bennett, Angela Carter, Jeanette Winterson, Graham Swift, A. S. Byatt, Sarah Waters, Salman Rushdie, Zadie Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Martin Amis, Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill, Ian McEwan, Julian Barnes, Philip Pullman, J. K. Rowling, Hilary Mantel, Julian Fellowes, Stephen Moffat / Mark Gatiss.
