ENG140Y1 Y LEC0101 20219:Literature for our Time
This course explores how recent literature in English responds to our world in poetry, prose, and drama. In the fall term we’ll visit some famous landmarks of early and mid-twentieth-century literature: London Bridge on a winter morning, a lighthouse off the west coast of Scotland, a bus stop in Monterey, and a wave-washed beach in South America, among others. In the spring term, our guides will be closer to our own time, living writers and more recent books. In both terms, emphases will include literature’s reasons for being, its formal qualities, historical context, relation to other media, and relevance to our moment in time.
Books are available for online order and delivery from the UofT Bookstore.
