This course examines the remarkably influential period between 1890 and 1920 in European and American literature and the arts known as Modernism. Our investigation focuses on major literary and artistic movements, including Naturalism, Impressionism, Symbolism, Dada, Surrealism, Futurism, and Expressionism. We examine in detail those literary manifestoes that help to illuminate the periods under discussion, as well as the individual works themselves. In addition, we investigate key figures who resisted being identified with any literary or artistic movement or manifesto. Central to our approach in the course is an interdisciplinary perspective. This is particularly important in cases such as Surrealism and Expressionism, which feature many artists who were themselves "Doppelbegabungen" (doubly gifted) and for whom the specific medium of artistic expression was less important than what was being expressed. Among the key figures whose work is discussed are: Ibsen, Strindberg, Zola, Chekhov, Stein, Hemingway, Artaud, Kafka, Brecht, Joyce, Kokoschka, Schiele, Kandinsky, and Picasso.
