Description
This course provides an overview of the many literary innovations now grouped under the term “modernism,” as well as their relations to the historical and social disruptions associated with the term “modernity.” After providing a firm grasp of these terms, the course will emphasize both literary form and historical context. How does literature respond to the pressures of industrialization, revolution, and empire, as well as to an ever-growing awareness of a diverse, interconnected world?
Please note that this class will first meet on Wednesday, September 3; discussion sections will not start being held until Friday, September 5.
