Topics will include: formal experiment and the representation of consciousness; responses to world war, communism, and fascism; technology, modernity, and the rise of mass culture; feminism, psychoanalysis, and changing understandings of gender roles and sexuality. The course will satisfy the post-1900 literature requirement, the fiction requirement, and the Gender/Sexuality and Class requirements.
