Hauptseminar
2 cred.h, Sprache Englisch
Time and place: Tue 18:00 - 19:30, C 301

Contents
In this seminar students will study a broad variety of modernist literature across the main genres. The modernist perception of life as fragmentary, of the psyche as subconsciously determined, and of authorial narrative as artificial also influenced the style of writing in the early 20th century. In addition to the texts listed above, we will also study poetry by W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Dylan Thomas and others as well as short stories by writers like Katherine Mansfield and D.H. Lawrence. All additional readings will be made available at the beginning of the semester.
In addition to the longer prose narratives listed below, we will study poetry and short stories, made available through StudOn.

Recommended literature
James Joyce, Ulysses (Penguin, 978-0141182803); Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse (Penguin, 0141183411); G.B. Shaw, Major Barbara (Penguin, 0140437908)
