Title: LITERARY MODERNISM

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2011

Credits: 3

Description:
From the end of the 19th century through the first decades of the 20th, literary history experienced one of its most intense and important upheavals: the series of movements, innovations, debates, and revolutions that we now call modernism. In reading poems, novels, manifestos, magazines, essays, and literary criticism—focusing on Great Britain and the U.S., but with attention to crucial Continental European influences—we will examine this dynamic, fascinating and often paradoxical era. We will also work to understand how it intersects with intellectual and sociopolitical developments of the time, such as the rise of psychoanalysis and the threat to liberal democracy posed by Communism and fascism. Specific writers may include Conrad, Yeats, Eliot, Pound, H.D., Stein, Joyce, Woolf, Moore, and Hughes.
