LIT 5185 - Spring 2026 - Gontarski

While British writers pulled back from the experimentalism of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury group, Irish writers redefined Modernist experimental writing throughout the twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries in a reshaped language all their own, Hiberno-English, in what Gilles Deleuze would call “Minor Literature.” This course explores such issues through some of the most exciting literature in English of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Requirements: This course satisfies the requirement for coursework in the following Areas of Concentration: Critical Theory and Post-1900 Literary and Cultural Studies; a Literary Genre (Fiction).
