Osnova
  • This course explores the borderline between Anglophone literature and music, its delimitation and possible transgressions. Music lyrics of recognized songwriters will be viewed as poems whose musical renditions add new horizons to them and underscore the essential musicality of poetry. Themes, motifs and distinctive styles of the individual artists coming from various areas of the English-speaking world will also be analyzed.
