This course focuses on modernist writers such as T.S. Eliot, who sought to revitalize modern culture by looking backward to the past; Virginia Woolf, who experimented with the form of the novel; and performance artist Kabe Wilson, who recycles texts of high modernism. We explore modernist literature in its geopolitical contexts with special attention to imperial expansion and contraction, the rise of fascism, world wars, and struggles for suffrage, and national belonging.
