ENGL 223 - The Modern Novel

Institution:

University of Richmond

Subject:

Description:

Analysis of selected 20th- and 21st-century novels. Prerequisite(s): English 103 with a grade of C or better or exemption. General Education Requirement: (FSLT) Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: This course provides an understanding of the concepts, techniques, and artistic goals associated with literary modernism, and it examines classic examples of modernist fiction by writers such as E.M Forster, Franz Kafka, and Virginia Woolf, as well as work by recent inheritors of modernism's legacy, such as Ian McEwan, Cormac McCarthy, and Penelope Fitzgerald. The larger goals of the course are to give the student experience in identifying and writing about the concerns, values, and world views of novelists and the strategies by which novelists convey these elements. Students emerge from this course, in other words, with a much more detailed and sophisticated understanding both of "the modern" and of "the novel."
