Contemporary Literature Course

The Contemporary Literature course covers British and Irish Literature since 1960. In 2011, the lectures started with Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange and ended with a discussion on the role of multiculturality in today’s British poetry. Texts include Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus, Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia, Sarah Kane’s Blasted and Paul Muldoon’s Poems.
