Section Info:
This course will examine one of the most provocative, experimental, and exciting periods in literary history. The early decades of the twentieth century saw rapid technological innovation, global political upheaval, radical transformations in gender roles, and the traumas of two world wars. The literature and art of the period captured these turbulent cultural experiences through extreme formal experimentation. This course will survey the key works that defined the modernist and avant-garde movements; we will examine novels, poetry, film, and manifestos by Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Mina Loy, Gertrude Stein, Charlie Chaplain, Samuel Beckett, and others.
