Course Description

1922 is widely regarded as the annus mirabilis or “wonder year” of international modernism—the year when, recovering from a global conflict and a global pandemic, many artists made significant contributions to experimental art. To mark the centenary  of that year, we’ll read several  works responsible for that year’s reputation, including Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room, T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, Claude McKay’s Harlem Shadows, and Katherine Mansfield’s The Garden Party and Other Stories. We will decide the reading(s) for our fifth and final session as a class. The possibilities for our fifth session  include selections from James Joyce’s Ulysses; Agatha Christie’s first “Tommy and Tuppence” detective mystery, The Secret Adversary; and Theodore Savage, a post-apocalyptic science-fiction fable by suffragist Cicely Hamilton.
