WiSe 20/21: HS-Literary and Cultural Theories: The Late Modern Novel
Stephan Laqué
Comments
The 20th century produced literature which has come to be read and interpreted as being modernist or postmodernist. Narratives of the period show a marked concern with issues of subjectivity, identity, referentiality and reflexivity. In this course we will be looking at the ways in which novels from high modernism, late modernism, and postmodernism explore the consequences of and potential remedies for the general sense of disorientation which pervades the period. Please purchase the following texts which we are going to read in this order: James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (ed. Seamus Deane, Penguin), Samuel Beckett, Molloy (in Beckett, Three Novels), Julian Barnes, Flaubert’s Parrot (Penguin) and Martin Amis, Money (Penguin). close
