CRWT 214 High Modernism

Division of Liberal Arts

3 credits 45.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course

In the first of three discipline histories, students are introduced to poets and fiction writers of the high-modernist period so that they understand the emergence of certain stylistic, aesthetic, thematic, and idiomatic ideas and devices that still inform contemporary literature. The course will emphasize these ideas by pairing fiction writers with poets, in order to see the ways in which similar cultural and historical concerns sponsored innovations in both genres.
