ENG 226-01 - Tradition of English Literature III (Spring)

4 credits (Spring)

This course takes its readings mainly from three areas: major authors of British and Irish Modernism (Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and James Joyce); the tradition of Irish drama in writers such as Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, and Martin McDonagh; and contemporary British writers such as Ian McEwan and Zadie Smith. Class discussions will engage a wide range of topics, from matters of literary technique and style to issues of race, sexuality, and postcolonial studies.
