Description:

Modernism, or the experimental literature of the early 20th century, bookended by two world wars represents a real, agonized meditation on the human condition. This course surveys the modern search for truth, focusing on major works of literature and on the issues that still inform our modernity; the relationship between aesthetics and politics, the crisis of language and the fragmentation (or multiplicity) of identity. Readings may include T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Virginia Wolfe, Mary Shelley, and others. Prerequisite: Any AML, BRL, DRA, or LIT course 2000 or higher. 3 credits. Spring 2009.
