Section Info: SP26 ENGL 213 - Modernist Literature and Culture - Isy Zuniga - This course examines major American modernist texts (1900-1950) that engage with violence as a central theme. Topics include violence as a feature of gender, class, war, and national identity, as well as the aesthetic and ethical challenges of representing trauma and brutality in narrative form. We will confront how violence has been used in the modernist period as entertainment and education in a variety of literary genres from literary fiction to pulp horror. Students will develop skills in close reading, literary analysis, and critical writing through essays and class discussion as well as expand their affect and relationship to violence in literature. Possible authors include Truman Capote, Raymond Chandler, Ernest Hemingway, and Flannery O’Connor.
