Section Description
Two Nobel prizes, two appearances on Oprah's book club -- they 'must' be good!
Toni Morrison wrote her Master's thesis on the work of William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf; echoes of their work appear in her work -- modernist tendencies, postmodernist explorations, colonialism, postcolonialism, slavery, feminism, infanticide, suicide, the American gothic, ghosts.
This course will read Woolf and Faulkner in their own right and then move onto reading a selection of Morrison's novels through the lens of the earlier writers. Students are asked to engage with the novels as well as with a range of critical texts as a way to enter into a dialogue with the three writers and their overlapping concerns.
Requirements include a heavy reading load, student-led discussions, active participation, and the occasional paper.
