Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

An exploration of how history and memory are narrated and constructed in American and European novels throughout the 20th century through answering such questions as: How is novel-writing different than history-writing? How does the process of writing relate to the process of memory, particularly in the case of a traumatic memory? What makes a novel "literary" versus merely "popular"? And does the creation of a narrative, story, or history have value, even if it leaves something, or someone, out of the story?
