E Lit 4583 - British Fiction after Modernism

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Course attempts to identify characteristics of British postmodern fiction: experimental novels of the 1970s and 1980s-works by, for example, John Fowles, Alasdair Gray, and Martin Amis; the "devolution" of British fiction into its constituent Scottish and English strands in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as its simultaneous globalizing as diasporic novelists wrote from Britain about "home." Younger writers, in frequently provocative ways, address the questions of nation, place, class, and sexual identity that have dominated the post-war period.
