ENGG 840 - British Literature and World War I

3 credits
This course explores the impact of World War I on modernist American and British writers. We will be reading 20th-century writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Katherine Mansfield and others. The course seeks to explore such questions as: how did modernist writers find language and literary forms to express the horror of war? How did war impact on issues such as gender and nation? How did World War I contribute to modernist themes such as alienation and changing conceptions of “time” and “reality.”
