LARTS 461 Modernism

Make it new! demanded modernist poet Ezra Pound. This interdisciplinary course will focus on the "new" literary styles and statements of modernist writers who sought to represent a world characterized by rapid social and technological changes. Students will study not only "high modernism" but also the Harlem Renaissance and the Proletarian movement. To contextualize and enrich our literary explorations, we will simultaneously study modernist innovations in music, the visual arts, and intellectual thought.
