Modernism & Problem of History

3 credits

This course examines how the acceleration of contemporary life brought about by new technologies posed for modernists a problem of representation they met with formal innovation, and how history’s morally troubling character spurred the forging of new myths to account for the repeated return of past strife and oppressions. *Note: This course is intended for ENGL Honours students. Students who are not ENGL Honours students require permission of the Department Head to register.*
