EN 359 Literature after War


This course focuses on literature that expresses the mood of the community in response to war. Most of the texts look at the community in the wake of war, not during it. Thus, the course is not a typical “war literature” course in that it is less focused on what happens on the battlefield than on what happens after the battles are over.  Possible texts include Regeneration, WW 1 poetry,  Mrs Dalloway Sophie’s Choice, The Remains of the Day, Slaughter-house Five, WW2 poetry, “The Things They Carried,” All the Light We Cannot See.

Prerequisite: Junior standing or above.
