- Inhalt
- This course examines the highly influential and variable works of American women modernists who played an active part in the literary scene, and participated in literary discussions, contributing to a new literary culture in the early 20th century. Women writers provided an imaginative expression of women’s lives in general and in relation to important factors such as work, religion, or politics in particular. In this course we will first discuss the historical developments that shaped modernism in the US and Europe, and address overall literary developments, for instance, the influence of psychoanalysis and feminism on American literature and culture at the time.
We will then focus on major texts by leading women authors and discuss their shaping role in literary modernism – including modernist movements such as Imagism and the Harlem Renaissance, the salon culture led by female authors, and women’s contributions to literary criticism and theory. In particular, we will read poetry, drama, short stories, and novels by Marianne Moore, Gertrud Stein, H.D., Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Nella Larsen and others.
- Empfohlene Literatur
- The final reading list of this course will be discussed and possibly altered together with the participants in the first week of the semester. Therefore, I invite you to read as much as you can throughout the summer break and contribute your reading suggestions in the first session.
