The emergence of English as a lingua franca has made British Literature (thus include literatures from ex-colonized countries) irrelevant when examined without competing histories of race, ethnicity, gender, disability, post-coloniality, and sexuality nation, gender and class within today’s multiplicity of socio-political, historical and ideological contexts. This course will examine afresh selected canonical works from Shakespeare to the more recent “British” literary texts. These texts will be explored in conjunction with authors and texts from non-western literary traditions to see their postcolonial trajectories.
