Description

Modernist literature stands as a fascinating and revolutionary movement, changing the landscape of written expression. Through experimentation with narrative structures, language, and themes, it marked a departure from traditional forms. Writers such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and T.S. Eliot broke away from the conventions of their time to delve into the complexities of human consciousness, disillusionment, and the rapidly changing world. In this course, you'll explore how these authors used literary innovation to reflect the fractured nature of modern life and the profound shifts in culture, politics, and society.

As you journey through the texts, you'll uncover the ways in which Modernist writers sought to portray the inner workings of the human mind, often blurring the line between reality and perception. By analysing key works, you'll gain an appreciation for the subtle ways Modernist writers challenged societal norms and experimented with form. From stream-of-consciousness techniques to fragmented storytelling, this course offers a deep dive into how these literary giants reshaped storytelling for future generations. Whether you’re a fan of classic literature or new to the genre, this course will offer a fresh perspective on Modernism’s lasting impact.
