Students are encouraged to read widely in order to understand the diversity of responses to modernity in the period, and lectures address the impact of a range of important cultural, political, and intellectual flashpoints (such as the Great War, the Russian Revolution, Irish Home Rule, the General Strike, the decline of empire, internationalism, women's suffrage, new discourses of sexuality, psychoanalysis, and the rise of fascism) as well as the specific features of the forms and genres through which writers have engaged with these issues.

Course Description
Students engage with the cultures and histories of Scotland through a multi-disciplinary perspectives offered by archaeology, Celtic languages, history, and literature all with the common question of how Scottish society has interacted with the outside world. Students consider how Scotland’s migratory, economic, intellectual, and cultural links overseas as well as its own distinctive experience of globalization influenced the development of a range of other societies while simultaneously transforming the country’s own domestic character and culture. This central theme of both influencing and being influenced by links with the outside world enables students to assess the global history of a non-US society in a multi-disciplinary way. In doing so, this course demonstrates how humanities-based disciplines explore the mutually influencing nature of the global, the national, and the local.

Course Description
The course focuses on various literary and cinematic depictions of the human search for identity and the meaning of self through a series of challenging texts and films from a variety of cultures. As the overarching theme of ‘Frontiers' suggests, the texts and films chosen for this course all share a focus on moments in which the individual is confronted by new frontiers, new borders, forcing a reappraisal of identity and selfhood. As always in Comparative Literature courses, the bringing together of the threads from the different texts and films is largely in the hands of the students, through discussion, and through comparative essays.
