Studies in Modern British Literature
This course is an advanced study of selected British Literature from 1890-present and the social and political movements that both influenced and were influenced by the writings of the period. The rise of Modernism, the World Wars and Cold War, and the post-Modern and 21st century worlds are studied as a backdrop and referent for this literature. By examining how these works both reflect and helped shape the time period, students will understand how the literature engaged with the difficult age and in which they were produced, and use contemporary literary theory and analysis to study the context and critical reaction to those works. 3 hours. Offered online only. Every other year.
