ENG 300 - British Literature III: The Post War Novel
Prerequisites: ENG 100 (or CW 210 and CW 220 ) and 200 or 300 level WTNG course
Fulfills a course requirement in the English Literature Core Concentration
This course considers the late 20th-century/early 21st-century British novel and examines closely a number of key issues that shaped, as well as continue to affect, postwar British literature and culture, such as the movement from empire to post-colonialism; the “new internationalism” in British literature; and the role of the most prestigious literary award in Britain, the Man Booker Prize. In reading comparatively a number of 20th- and 21st-century “British” novels, we will also pay particular attention to the continuously shifting dynamics between the notions of “British,” “English,” “international,” and “global/world” as reflected in the stories told, the ways in which they are told, and in the different works’ fate in the literary marketplace.
