LITERATURE AND THE MODERN AGE

Catalog description

This course explores the modern age through the written word. Through a broad survey of texts, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama, we will draw connections between the modern human condition - the construction, experience, and consciousness of the "self" - and its literary expression. The period examined is the mid-19th to mid-20th century. Prerequisite: Completion of an English Sequence (4 credits)
