What does it mean to be modern? This course explores the aesthetic and literary experiments that flourished in the early twentieth century, as authors confronted the experience of modernity�urbanization, warfare, changing gender and sexual roles, revolutionary political ideologies, new media, anti-colonial struggles�and sought to rethink the relationship of the present to the past. Students will learn what modernisms are and how writers transformed literary conventions to capture ways of being modern.
