Section Info: Modernism was the great age of literary experiment and innovation. Novelists and poets disrupted the very forms of their writing with competing points of view, stream-of-consciousness narration, free verse splattered across the page, and stories that flaunt the expectation of resolved endings. Seeming certainties of gender, race, class, peace and war, physics, and the human mind collapsed. Everything seemed on the edge of ending—or of beginning anew. Concentrating on English-language Modernism (roughly 1910-1940), we will read an assortment of more-or-less novels from high Modernism to detective novels, read a wide selection of poems, and watch Charlie Chaplin on the screen—all amidst the larger Modernist scene of accelerated changes in science and technology and innovations in painting, music, dance, and psychology. Students need no particular previous experience studying Modernism, but all students must be prepared to attend class regularly, read regularly, join class discussion, and stretch their brains.
