We&#39;ll move between centres of modernist writing, such as London, Zurich, Paris, Berlin and New York to encounter key literary figures and artistic groups who all tried to break new ground in different ways.We will examine questions surrounding the creative tensions between tradition and experiment, the &#39;difficulty&#39; of modernist writing, high- and middlebrow fiction, postcolonial perspectives, gender politics, our own academic practices and the literary canon. Throughout the subject, we will read modernist writing in the context of political &amp; cultural events, as well as contemporary developments in art, film and music. This is a level 3 subject.
