LN734.306 English Literature Survey 2
None.
On successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to:
Make critical interpretations and appraisals of literature of the modern era
Critique styles and forms of major literary works
Generate an original exposition of literature in the modern era for a wider audience
This unit completes the study of the English language tradition, by studying twentieth century literature, which is identified with the Modern. As well as breaks with the past, there are many examples of continuity and revival. Commercial influences are noted, as well as the relation of literature to politics, in particular totalitarian government on the one hand, and liberation movements on the other. We also consider the role of cinema, radio, television and digital media in changing the way people use language. This course of study will not be limited to works originally written in English, but will incorporate instigators of international movements in literature effective upon the English tradition.
