Course Content
This course focuses on British prose fiction from 1900 to the Second World War. After an introduction to the philosophical, political and economic background and to the arguments of Modernism, some of the main characteristics of Modernist art and of modern fiction in more general terms are studied in relation to works by such writers as James, Conrad, Wells, Bennett, Woolf, Joyce, Mansfield, Forster, Greene. The extent to which modern literary theories are responses to Modernist Fiction is discussed.
