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. To that end, this will be a reading and writing intensive course. The course will focus on questions of nationalism, identity, and the circulation of people and ideas in a global context. WIth this in mind, the texts we will be reading will all be asking, some obliquely, some explicitly, how relationships to the self and to others are understood in a consistently unstable world.
