Английская литература - что выбрать?

[Алексей Конобеев]

На книги каких авторов стоит обратить внимание при разработке элективного курса по английской литературе? Что стоит почитать для себя?

Возможно, ответить на эти вопросы поможет список рекомендованных писателей для экзамена GCSE по английской литературе. Цитирую список-2014:

Lists of authors from the National Curriculum KS4

programme of study

The English Literary Heritage: This includes authors with an enduring appeal that transcends the period in which they were writing. For example, the novels of Jane Austen or the plays of Shakespeare continue to be widely read, studied and reinterpreted in print and on screen for contemporary audiences.

The study of texts by these authors should be based on whole texts and presented in ways that will engage students (eg supported by the use of film

resources and drama activities).

Texts from the English Literary Heritage should include work selected from the following pretwentieth-century writers:

Matthew Arnold, Jane Austen, William Blake, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Robert Browning, John Bunyan, Lord Byron, Geoffrey Chaucer, William

Congreve, John Clare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Wilkie Collins, Joseph Conrad, Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, John Donne, John Dryden, George Eliot,

Henry Fielding, Elizabeth Gaskell, Oliver Goldsmith, Thomas Hardy, George Herbert, Robert Herrick, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Henry James, John Keats,

Christopher Marlowe, Andrew Marvell, John Milton, Alexander Pope, Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, RB Sheridan, Edmund Spenser, Robert Louis

Stevenson, Jonathan Swift, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Anthony Trollope, Henry Vaughan, HG Wells, Oscar Wilde, William Wordsworth and Sir Thomas Wyatt

 

Writers from the English Literary Heritage during the twentieth century include: Kingsley Amis, WH Auden, TS Eliot, EM Forster, Robert Frost, William Golding, Graham Greene, Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes, Aldous Huxley, Elizabeth Jennings, James Joyce, Philip Larkin, DH Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Sean O’Casey, George Orwell, Wilfred Owen, Harold Pinter, Sylvia Plath, JB Priestley, Siegfried Sassoon, Peter Shaffer, George Bernard Shaw, RC Sherriff, Stevie Smith, Muriel Spark, Dylan Thomas, Edward Thomas, RS Thomas, William Trevor, Evelyn Waugh, Arnold Wesker, John Wyndham and WB Yeats.

Кстати, из книг 20-го века очень рекомендую роман Lucky Jim, написанный Kingsley Amis - это юмористическая повесть об университетском учителе, который научился в ходе повествования противостоять глупым требованиям администрации и хитростям коллег.

Я всегда рекомендую читать именно адаптированные книги на английском языке до того момента, пока вы не достигнете уровня владения английским языком как минимум B2 (Upper-Intermediate).
