Urban Experience + CD + Key

This module in the Web of Themes collection focuses on the theme of urban experience and offers a ѕelection of poems and extracts from novels and plays written by 19th- and 20th-century British and American authors. A springboard for stylistic analysis and generation of language, each text with brainstorming and thematic windows, the author’s biodata and a clear synopsis. The carefully ѕelected texts are accompanied by explanatory notes and challenging graded activities. A basic glossary of literary terms and a self-assessment section help students to consolidate what they have learnt in this module. Movie and Music Flashes enable students to link films and songs to the texts covered in the module and an Xpansion Card and a series of Internet links are also provided for students who want to expand their knowledge of the urban experience theme in English, French and Italian literature. A section in colour, Looking into Visual Arts, analyses the theme from an art historian’s point of view, acquainting students with famous representations by prominent painters. All texts are recorded in full.
