ENGL 3545
British Literature after 1945

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

What does it mean to write after the aesthetic breakthroughs of modernism, after the devastation of WWII, and during the twilight of the British empire? This class will introduce students to British literature from 1945 to the present, investigating how novels, poems, and plays have taken on new voices through their encounter with vast cultural and political changes. Beginning with Virginia Woolf's final novel, a cavalcade of English culture written in the shadow of war, we will proceed to study authors who explored the state of the nation through kitchen-sink realism, multicultural collage, and warped fantasy: Amis, Selvon, Naipaul, Carter, Larkin, Rushdie, Ishiguro, Rowling, and others.

When Offered Fall.
