LITPA 200 courses introduce students to the study of literature or the performing arts, emphasizing analysis of both particular works and of the range of genres, periods and traditions. Frequent reading and writing assignments will be made.Course DescriptionModernism is a style, as well as an historical period, that arguably extends from Flaubert’s 19th century Madame Bovary to the period between World War I and II, and sometimes more generally to the present. It is an international movement that transgresses national and generic boundaries. No one technique or style defines a text as modernist. Through close reading and historical context, this course will examine several modern novels that span the continents. We will also consider how modernist literature relates to other art forms.
