Description
This is the third course in the required Literatures in English sequence, spanning 1900 to the present. Please note that this is a reading- and writing-intensive course designed to prepare students for upper-division coursework in the English major. We will study literature from 1900 to the present, covering the broad intellectual, aesthetic, and philosophical movements from modernism to postmodernism in British, American, and Anglophone literatures. Our texts will allow us to think through issues of temporality; sexuality and gender; borders and their relationship to regions, nations, states, and the globe; race; subjectivity; and formal changes to literature.
