literary texts

British literature offers a reflection of the social, political, and intellectual currents that shaped the evolution of English-speaking societies. The texts from each period provide not only artistic expression but also a window into the values, conflicts, and transformations of their time. These lectures help students to explore these texts, emphasizing how literary works are embedded in their historical and cultural contexts. By understanding the dynamics of the time in which a text was written, students will gain insight into the reasons why certain themes, genres, and styles emerged and how they resonate with contemporary concerns.
