This course is designed with the aim of complementing the students knowledge of British and American literature by making them also acquainted with some basic information about other authors written in English. The lectures focus on the historical development and current trends in Irish, Scottish and Welsh literature (written in English), the bilingual quality of Canadian literature (with an obvious emphasis on authors writing in English), Australian literature and also on Indian, African and Caribbean literature written in English. The follow-up seminar sessions complement these lectures with a close reading of the unabridged assigned texts.
