Course description

This course introduces students to writers and thinkers responsible for creating what we may call the modern age, a period we may date from, roughly, 1850 to 1960. The focus will be on English-language authors, but some attention will be given to influential figures outside this tradition (for example Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, Fanon). Authors to be studied may include: Darwin, Emerson, Dickinson, Arnold, Dickens, Hardy, George Eliot, Ruskin, Pater, Wilde, Whitman, Hopkins, James, Conrad, Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Woolf, Lawrence, Forster, Joyce, Beckett, White.
