ENGL 377 - Surviving Ulysses

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This is a course in the major works of High British Modernism. The poetry and prose of this period were characterized by tremendous ambition, radical experimentation, the questioning of conventions and the creation of new ones. In the first half we concentrate on a single author, James Joyce, reading his major fiction (excluding Finnegan's Wake). In the second half we will assess the challenge Joyce -- specifically his masterpiece Ulysses -- presented to his contemporaries: poets influenced by his use of myth (Eliot, Pound, H.D.); Irish writers confronted with a self-proclaimed national epic (Yeats, Beckett); other aspirants to the High Modern novel (Huxley, Woolf).
