This course introduces students to some of the key texts of modern and contemporary literature, across several genres: poetry, drama, the short story, the novel, and the filmscript.

This subject explores the thematic and formal innovations of 20th-century writing and some of the controversies and contexts of 20th-century literature. Students are encouraged to develop a critical framework for interpreting these texts in the light of current trends in literary criticism and critical theory.
