ENGL 40409 - Readings in the Novel

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course introduces students to modernist writing by familiarizing them with the period's infamously groundbreaking texts, such as T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," Edith Sitwell's "Facade," Hugh MacDiarmid's "A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle" and David Jones's "In Parenthesis." Contextual study of revolutions in the other arts -- like painting and music -- as well as of Britain's "war culture" between 1914 and 1945 will illuminate the pressures that produce revolutionary artforms from figures as various as D.H. Lawrence, Stevie Smith, W.H. Auden and Kathleen Raine. Two papers, one presentation and a final exam.
