(1). If you were to teach an undergraduate course on British literature of the nineteenth and twentieth century, which authors and literary works would you list as required readings on the syllabus? How would you introduce the authors and works of the course syllabus to students on the first day of class? Introduce the authors and works briefly (as if you were the instructor in the classroom speaking to students). Explain why they are required readings for the course.

(2). Discuss at least two (2) but no more than four (4) works of British literature that have shaped your imagination of Britain as an historical place. Name and discuss these works. How have they shaped and informed your ideas about Britain? How do these works express British identity to you and construct Britain as an historical place? Explain with concrete and specific references to the texts.

(3). Discuss at least two (2) but no more than four (4) works by British authors that take place in settings outside the British Isles. Name and discuss these works. Why do you think the authors take an interest in stories or literary material in settings outside Britain? How do these works reflect the author's ideas about foreign places and cultures and Britain's historical and cultural relations to these places and communities? Explain with concrete and specific references to the texts.
