ENG 375 - Contemporary British Novel

Institution:

Assumption University

Subject:

Description:

This course will survey and analyze prominent trends in the British novel from World War II to the present. Post-war British novelists have helped push the form of the novel in exciting new directions in the late 20th century, asking us to consider fundamental questions about literature and the human condition: How can fiction help us to make sense of our lives? What separates true stories from fictional ones? Why do we tell stories at all? We will read novels from postwar British/Irish novelists such as Samuel Beckett, Anthony Burgess, Graham Greene, Ian McEwan, Jeanette Winterson, and Zadie Smith. (Area 3, Spring) Lang/ Three credits
