LIT 336 - Lyric and Narrative, History and Imagination in Contemporary Literature

Institution:

Antioch University-System Administration

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the way many contemporary writers have begun to combine, juxtapose, or weave, historical events, memoir, personal experience, various kinds and degrees of poetic language (lyric), and imaginative turns, into new, inviting, sometimes puzzling genres of literature. Students observe how poems combine lyric and narrative (i.e. telling a story) to varying degrees, and then move to the use of lyric, poetic language and stylistics by novel writers in their works of fiction. The course also tackles metafiction, the historiographic novel, and the uses of history, to see how and why writers have developed this relatively new form. HUMANITIES DOMAIN
