This course provides a critical introduction to important twentieth-century English literary works. The course is not intended to be a comprehensive survey; rather, it examines the artistic, philosophical, and political underpinnings of select figures and movements with a view to offering in-depth analysis of specific issues. The course will focus on two things: on the one hand, the modernist writers’ innovative ways of representing the inner truth and outer reality; on the other hand, crucial questions surrounding the historical vicissitudes during the twentieth century, including the impact of wars on the societal and individual psyche, the crisis of personal and collective identity occasioned by cultural or racial clashes, and the repercussions of imperialism and colonial history.
