Virginia Woolf is one of the outstanding representatives of literary modernism in English, a pioneer in terms of style and her feminist perspective on literature and writing (A Room of One's Own, 1928). Her work includes masterpieces such as the novels Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and The Waves (1931), but also short stories and critical essays, many of which have acquired classical status. By reading a selection of fictional and non-fictional texts, it is the aim of the course a) to give you an introduction to (literary) modernism via the work of one of its most brilliant representatives; b) to deepen your skills in analyzing and interpreting narrative texts, c) to work with secondary literature and develop your own critical perspectives on literary texts. Please buy and read the Penguin Modern Classics editions of To the Lighthouse (ISBN-13: 978-0141183411) and The Waves (ISBN-13: 978-0141182711) and the Oxford World's Classics edition of A Room of One's Own (ISBN-13: 978-0199642212). |
