ENGL 364 - Postmodernist Literature

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

This course focuses on the "crisis of confidence" that rippled through postmodernism and post-postmodernism (I know) in the 20th century, as authors and theorists began to doubt the literary enterprise while others were gleefully trying to turn the whole thing on its head. After a quick review of realism and modernism (to get some degree of orientation), we'll read authors such as Barth, Nabokov, Reed, Barthelme, Atwood, Kingston, Wallace, and Egan, to study the degree to which literature may have exhausted itself and if it found replenishment. Majors who need credit for ENGL 491 should take this class.
