Modernist Writers: Virginia Woolf and Jean Rhys
ENGL 311
Spring 2024
| Section:
01
|
This course will allow readers to explore and engage with the oeuvres of two important but very different female modernist writers. We will read major and minor works of both novelists, but we will also dip into their short stories, essays, diaries, and/or memoirs. In addition, we will also read some of the most significant criticism on both authors to understand how their critical status has been established and modified in the decades since their works were first published. |
