Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This proseminar focuses on High Modernist literature: i.e. on highly experimental texts which emerged in the inter-war period between 1918 & 1939. As many High Modernist authors such as T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald worked on both sides of the Atlantic, this course focuses on English and American Studies respectively. Other (non-transatlantic) High Modernists to be looked at include Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.
The rewriting of ancient mythology as an ordering device for an increasingly chaotic and war-struck present (known as ‘mythical method’) will be a central aspect to be looked at in this course. As Modernist art is notoriously experimental if not to say ‘difficult’, genuine interest in ‘writerly’ rather than ‘readerly’ texts is essential for participation.
