Subject outline
This subject offers an introduction to the British literary landscape of the interwar years - one of the most innovative and exciting periods of British writing. Going beyond a narrow band of high-modernist texts, you will re-situate Modernist writing as a multitude of literary responses to modern life - varied, contradictory and highly contested - and introduce central concepts used in current scholarship, such Transnational and Intermodernism, the middlebrow etc. This will help you examine some assumptions surrounding high-brow fiction, academic practices and the literary canon. Throughout this subject, you will discuss literature in relation to political events and cultural influences, such as World War I, psychoanalysis, the Bright Young Things, the flapper, feminism, Marxism, etc. You will discuss aesthetic innovations, such as stream of consciousness, fragmentation, documentary literature, the treatment of time, etc. And you'll encounter key literary figures, magazines and artistic groups like Bloomsbury and the Neo-Pagans.
