This course has been designed to be of particular interest to International Exchange and Erasmus students. It will deepen students’ knowledge of late 19th century and 20th century literature from a comparative perspective, encompassing poetry, drama, fiction and literary essay, whilst providing the opportunity to focus on assignments dealing with Scottish, American, British or European writing. It also offers insight into the importance of women’s writing (and issues of gender and identity more broadly) during the modern period. Beginning with late Victorian and fin de siècle gothic 'awakenings’, it will progress to a study of key Modernist ‘transformations’, ending with a consideration of postmodern ‘hauntings’ found in more contemporary texts. Writers studied include R.L. Stevenson, Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Anne Sexton and Toni Morrison.
