| Inhalt | Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and F. Scott Fitzgerald are names that stand for three very different kinds of modernist writing. Hemingway's concision and 'hard style' make his writing appear much more accessible and transparent than many another modernist's--until one considers the precision of his literary craft. Faulkner is a regional Southern writer whose long sentences and innovations in literary language connect him to a broader, international modernist movement. Widely read and taught as a dissecter of the 'American Dream,' Fitzgerald has much more to offer than cultural critique. As we discuss Hemingway's early short story collection "In Our Time," Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury," and Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby," we will explore their diverging writing styles as well as their fictional explorations of modernity and masculinity. |
| Lernziele | In-depth engagement with three major modernist writers. |
| Literatur | Hemingway's "In Our Time," Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury," and Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby" need to be purchased and read before the beginning of the term. I recommend the inexpensive 1998 Scribner edition of "The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway," the 1991 Vintage edition of Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury," and the 2004 Scribner edition of Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Additional texts will be made available on ADAM. |
| Bemerkungen | This course closely relates to Philipp Schweighauser's lecture course "American Literature Survey III/IV: Naturalism and Modernism" (28846-01). |
