Special Studies in Modernism: 1922

1922 has been described as the "annus mirabilis" (miracle year) of modernism, James Joyce's Ulysses. T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Virginia Woolf's Jacob's Room. Claude McKay's Harlem Shadows. All published in 1922. This seminar surveys these books (and others) and considers their influence today. We also discuss the history and future of modernist studies, and do extensive work in the Sylvia Beach Papers and other archives at Firestone Library.
