- Course Catalog Description:
- In Modern Fiction, we will study a selection of novels and short stories by some of the most compelling and original writers of our time. We will read work by contemporary authors and classic modernists whose stylistic innovations influenced a generation. Because literature is a continuum in which the present responds to the past, we'll note evolutions and developments in the genre over time. We will identify and analyze such elements of fiction as theme, genre, structure, form, language, and context.
- Class Description:
- The Oxford English Dictionary defines modern as "of or relating to the present or recent times," or "denoting the form of language that is currently used, as opposed to any earlier form." In the study of literature, however, the term modern also connotes the more technical literary movements of modernism and postmodernism. In this course we will honor both the OED definition and the more technical use of the term modern in the study of literature. To do so, students will read award-winning and highly acclaimed works of contemporary literature, that is, literature published in the last 5 years. Students will situate these works in relation to the history of modernist and postmodernist literatures. Students will also consider relevant social, political, and philosophical concepts and developments through the 20th and 21st centuries to the present.
