Description
This is the third course in the required Literatures in English sequence, with this installment focusing on a range of Anglophone literature between 1900 and the present day. This sequence is designed to prepare majors to succeed in upper division courses. To that end, this will be a reading and writing intensive course. We will be discussing our texts in terms of their broad but complex modernist and postmodernist periodizations as well as their sociocultural contexts and learn various interpretive techniques with which to critique literature.
