Edited.[REGNUM] On January 22, The Mail on Sunday reported that staff at the University of Northampton had issued a warning that George Orwell's novel 1984 contained shock content. According to Krasnaya Vesna news agency, the warning about shock content was issued on the basis that this book contains "explicit materials" that some students may find "offensive and upsetting." In addition to the literature of George Orwell, scholars highlight several other works in the module that could potentially be "offensive and upsetting". This module also includes Samuel Beckett's play Endgame, Allan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta, and more. Posted by: badanov 2022-01-24 |
