Description
This is the third course in the required Literatures in English sequence, with this installment focusing on Anglophone literature between 1900 and the present. This is a writing and reading intensive course designed as part of a sequence to prepare majors to succeed in upper division courses. This course will consider the complex and dynamic relationship among national and regional British, American, and postcolonial literatures. We will consider literatures of Diaspora, migration, and globalization, as well as the place of modernism in this global literary geography. In particular, we will engage thematic and historical questions of identity, memory, and violence by considering their relationship to literary form across a wide range of aesthetic modes and genres.
