LWP 3111Modernity and Truth

Catalog

Modernism consists of experimental literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In some ways, the literature was experimental in style. More often, however, literary themes became more open and daring, ranging from subjects and themes dealing with evolution, the horror of war, women's issues, sexuality, the fragmentation of identity, or the politics of colonialism. While emphasis might fall on literature in English, this course is international in scope.
