Title: Literature of the Fin de Siecle
Description: This course will study the literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (1880-1914), revising the common assumption that experimental modernism was twentieth century phenomenon or a break with "Victorian" traditions. We will be concerned especially with how texts in this period embody and illuminate various crises (linguistic, aesthetic, religious, sexual, ethnic) and how broader socio-cultural movements inspired writers to impose, question, or experiment with ideas of form and order.
