| description | <p>The Beckett Seminar has been part of the University of Antwerp’s Master of English Literature curriculum since 2007. Its introduction into the programme was in line with the focus on modernism and postmodernism that the Department of English Literature has traditionally had. Apart from Beckett, the programme offers seminars on James Joyce and Wallace Stevens, as well as more general courses such as the American historical novel since 1950, New York City in twentieth-century literature, and Women Writers in Modern British Literature.</p>
<p>Although Beckett has a reputation of being a difficult author, he also features in two introductory Bachelor of Arts (BA) courses: Waiting for Godot is discussed in the BA first-year course Introduction to the Study of the English Literature, and Endgame is part of Twentieth-Century Literature in English (BA third year). Both these courses are taught predominantly in lecture form, which leaves little room for interaction and provides only a cursory glimpse on Beckett’s oeuvre and modus operandi. The present essay will therefore focus exclusively on the Beckett Seminar in the Masters programme – the course that is taught to small groups of students and grounded in interaction.</p> |
