British Literature Since 1900. This course explores the imaginative experiments undertaken by British literary writers across the twentieth century, engaging what are arguably some of most influential works of Anglophone literature. We will examine how literary writers experimented in stories and forms as they sought to grasp urbanization, empire and independence, war, migration, and struggles related to race, gender, and sexuality. While focusing on canonical and emergent literatures often defined as “British,” we will be mindful of the global context in which this literature took form.
