This course involves study of representative literary texts from both the modern and postmodern period, with much discussion devoted to defining the periods and differentiating modern (1910 - 1965) from postmodern (1965 and after) thought and works. 20th-century literature is characterized by revolution and radical experimentation, by both liberal and reactionary politics and, in general, by agonized conflicts characterizing a "post-Enlightenment" response to Eurocentric "master narratives." Thus, there will be an emphasis on historical and cultural contexts of the literature studied. Reading assignments will include relevant secondary materials on modernism and postmodernism, as well as on selected authors' works. Modernist authors considered might include James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Edith Wharton, William Faulkner, Willa Cather, Richard Wright, Ernest Hemingway, Eugene O'Neill, Flannery O'Connor, Carson McCullers. Postmodern authors may include John Barth, Patrick White, Vladimir Nabokov, Thomas King, Margaret Drabble, Doris Lessing, John Fowles, Edward Albee, Toni Morrison. Prerequisite: Junior or senior standing. (Spring, even-numbered years)
