ENG 149 - Survey of Modernist Literature: Poetry

This course examines the essential works of what came to be described as the “Modernist” movement in Anglo-American literature. The period covered is roughly between 1900-1940, a time of critical, cultural, and artistic re-evaluation–an attempt to restructure the way western civilization expressed itself in order to fit the needs of a new, emergent consciousness. Authors may include Conrad, Pound, Eliot, Joyce, Woolf, Stevens, Williams, Moore, Yeats, Frost, Hemingway, Faulkner, Synge, and Lawrence.
