Section Title: Modernism and Modernity Section Info: This course will examine one of the most strange, provocative, and experimental 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 experiences through radical changes in the ways that lived experiences were narrated and poetically represented. Novels such as Mrs. Dalloway and Ulysses changed the way that thought, desire, and anxiety could be captured in language while poems like The Waste Land asked what is meant by “modern.” In this course we will discuss the key works that defined modernism and the avant-garde movements, including novels, poetry, film, and manifestos by Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, Charlie Chaplin, Samuel Beckett, Mina Loy, and others. In addition to learning about one of the high points of literary experimentation, students will learn how to analyze closely a wide range of literary texts and how to make compelling, well-supported arguments through essays and exams.
