• ENG 361: TOLKIEN & LEWIS

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  J.R.R. Tolkien has been called "the Author of the 20th Century," and C.S. Lewis is likewise one of the best known names among literary and academic figures of the last 100 years. The main goal of this course is to try to explain why two rather marginalized Oxford professors now appear, posthumously, as dominant literary figures for their generation and succeeding ones. While the main concentration will be on the works of Tolkien and Lewis, and their impact on twentieth and twenty-first century fiction, we will also consider the circumstances of their lives and friendship with each other and the group known as the Inklings.

• ENG 365: MODERN NOVEL

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  World War One, empires on the brink, and explosive developments in art, technology, and human consciousness: Modernism and modernist literature sought to respond to all of these factors, and many more. The course will examine fiction of the modernist avant-gardes, the high modernism of the interwar years, and other literary movements, like Surrealism, the Lost Generation, and the Harlem Renaissance. Novels from the United States and the United Kingdom provide the primary array of texts; given the importance of global social phenomena during the period, novels from other regions may be considered.

• ENG 368: POSTMODERNISM

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  What is the postmodern? When did it begin-and is it over? Is it an artistic movement or a socio-cultural condition? And why do people get so agitated whenever its name is spoken? To work toward answers to these questions, the course examines representative postmodern literature and arts across a variety of media and genres, with an emphasis on texts produced in the late 20th century in America, with the occasional foray to continental Europe. Primary texts include novels, rock music, theory, films, comics, and visual arts-and some texts that try to incorporate all of the above.
