ENGL 078. Modernism

This course introduces students to high modernism, a period of literary experimentation that spanned the first half of the twentieth century. We will be interested in innovative forms, failed experiments, inner lives, social movements, and the looming shadow of history. Expect to encounter authors such as Conrad, Forster, Woolf, Joyce, Barnes, and Faulkner.
