Description
This course covers Anglophone literature after 1900, and is the final class in the required Literatures in English series. It is reading- and writing-intensive, designed to prepare students majoring in English for advanced upper-division literary studies. Through a wide variety of Anglophone poetry, prose, and performance, we will attempt to trace a history of the 20th and 21st centuries. As part of building this history, we will consider form and narrative as structures that help illuminate questions of nation and empire, citizenship and civil rights, individual subjectivity, and the rise of global capitalism.
