Modern British Literature, 1900-Present

In-depth examination of some of the important British texts in fiction, poetry, and drama from 1900 to the present. The works dramatize the important historical, social and aesthetic changes in a century which saw the collapse of the British Empire, the spread of democracy, the rise of Modernism and the Absurd in the arts, and the continuing struggle of the personal statement in an impersonal world.
