課程簡介
|
This course explores early twentieth-century modernist literature with a particular emphasis on related issues of gender. While maintaining a focus on concerns of literary form, it addresses the political resonance of modernist writings in light of the critical, discursive and social contexts. We will read poems, critical pieces, and novels by both the male and female modernists, and also pertinent critical and theoretical essays along the way. Primary readings include selected poems of Ezra Pound and H.D. and the novels of Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness), D. H. Lawrence (Women in Love), Virginia Woolf (Mrs. Dalloway) and Djuna Barnes (Nightwood). A number of important topics in Modernist Studies such as primitivism, femininity, female authorship, and the modern city will be addressed.
