EN 386 Modern British Fiction (Spring: 3)
At the turn of the twentieth century, British writers began to experiment
with new ways of writing fiction that would allow them to throw off the
conventions of the Victorian novel, and to represent human consciousness
and subjectivity in all its wayward complexity. We will study such narrative
developments in works of Henry James, E.M.Forster, Virginia Woolf, D.H.
Lawrence, Rebecca West, and Ford Madox Ford, pausing mid-course to consider
the First World War and its impact on these modernist visions of the social
order.
