ENGL 90134 - Culture of Modernism

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

The course will raise a number of questions about modernism in general. Under what conditions does a major modernist movement tend to arise? Why is so much 'English' modernism the work of exiles and emigrés? Why do Irish authors bulk so large in its ranks? Modernism will be considered in relation to the revolutionary avant-garde, the search for a 'negative politics' and the autonomy of art. Its contradictory political aspects, as a product of modernity which can also be virulently critical of it, will also be explored.
