Description:

This course surveys a selection of writings drawn from the twentieth century, paying particular attention to British writers. Classes concentrate on this century's two primary literary periods, namely modernism and postmodernism, examining the ideological similarities and differences between them. In order to overcome the interpretive difficulties built into the twentieth-century text, classes will generate close readings but will also consider the social, political and philosophical forces that have in general formed and deformed this period's literature.
