ENG 3570 - Queer Modernism

Credits: 4
This course explores developments in the history of sexuality and literary modernism via a focus on Queer Modernism of the radical 1920s. All modernist output is
queer in some ways, because of Modernisms focus on experimentation and boundary-breaking in artistic form and content. But in this class we take a deep dive into the dominant theories of gender and sexuality that modernist writers addressed both personally and professionally, the literary works that these theories and discourses inspired, and more recent theories of queerness. Authors we read will include E.M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, Amy Lowell, Claude McKay, and others.
