Handbook

This subject focuses on the theory and cultural production of modernism in the early decades of the 20th century. The modernists were a cohort of artists who felt that the social and technological developments of the 19th century required the development of new forms of artistic representation, hence Ezra Pounds call to Make it New! Literary texts by Woolf, Yeats, Joyce, Faulkner, Hemingway, Lawrence and T.S. Eliot (among others) will be read in conjunction with texts from science, psychology, art, music, literary and cultural theory.
