ENG 1376 - LITERATURE OF THE MODERN WORLD

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
An examination of the evolution of literature over the last century in relation to some of the movements and events that have made the world what it is today, such as the breakup of European empires, the two world wars, the civil rights and women's rights movements, the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, and the 9/11 attack on the United States, Students will study modernism and post-modernism as literary and artistic movements operating in the face of new ethical, social, and philosophical challenges. Working from a post-colonial perspective, we will look at the role of literature from around the world in redefining the socio-political landscape and even humanity itself, as the long history of colonialism gave way to modern nation states and, ultimately, to the rise of the United States as the preeminent superpower.
