Modernism

×

The purpose of this module is to study literature of the modernist period (roughly 1900-1945) with particular emphasis on those authors who attempted to break away from received norms of literary style and content. As well as providing an overview of the defining textual features of modernism, the module is concerned with the interrelation of text and context, offering a range of ways of conceiving of modernist literature as both of, and self-consciously ahead of, its historical moment.

The second aim is to help students understand that International Relations theory in general has often completely misunderstood the nature of geography, often reducing “political geography” to something known as “geopolitics.” Finally, and potentially most usefully, the course will make it clear that there are numerous gaps in our knowledge of geography and war.
