Course Aims | This course introduces students to the themes and forms of Modernism. Students first explore the artistic, intellectual and cultural movements of the period, 1900 – 1945. Primarily, we consider core questions in Modernism: experimentation, narratology, the issue of gender, and the interplay between politics, form and style in our selected texts. Students survey the works of major Modernist writers in the forms of novels, poetry, short stories and essays. |
