We will consider the influences that early psychiatry, introspective psychology, psychoanalysis, sexology, behaviorism, and gestalt psychology had upon British and Irish experimental writing. Conversely, we will ask how those literary experiments exerted critical pressure on the new sciences of the mind. Along the way we will consider the roles that certain psychopathologies and cognitive disorders played in the construction of the ?normal? mind. We will also survey reconsiderations of modernist narrative techniques in light of recent developments in cognitive narratology. Provisional reading list may include primary works by Virginia Woolf, Wyndham Lewis, D.H. Lawrence, May Sinclair, Mina Loy, Radclyffe Hall, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett among others. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
