The course introduces British and US literature, including their relevant historical contexts, from the 16th to the 20th century, from Shakespeare, through Romanticism and the Victorian Era, to the inter-war period.
Teaching and working methods
The teaching consists of lectures and seminars. Homework and independent studies are a necessary complement to the course.

Examination
The course is examined by active participation in seminars, written examinations and oral examination. Detailed information about the examination can be found in the course’s study guide.
If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it. If the coordinator has instead recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
Grades
ECTS, ECOther information
Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus.
The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
