Additional Details:

This quarter we will be reading novels and short stories written by British authors over the during the twentieth century. We will consider the development of literary modernism early in the century, and the later emergence of post-modernism after World War II in relation to major social, technological, and cultural changes of the times. One particular emphasis of the class will be on the role of art and the artist in modern life; another will be on how the content and structure of many texts reveal anxiety over new attitudes towards sexuality and gender roles. Reading for the class will include fiction by D.H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, Graham Swift, Jeanette Winterson, and Ian McEwan.
