This course is primarily a READING and discussion course, examining the development of varieties of 'modernism' from the late 1890s to the present.  The scope will include work from Irish, English, German, Turkish, Syrian, Nigerian, and South African writers. There will be brief weekly assignments on assigned reading, including a quiz each week, two short written assignments, and a final examination with questions on assigned reading.  The course is not listed as a ‘W’ course. Arrangements can be made individually if you need 'W' credit, by completing a longer term paper on a topic worked out with the instructor.
