ALl 00 Twentieth Century Literature<br />

No. <strong>of</strong> hours per week: three hours<br />

Prerequisite: nil<br />

Assessment: continuous<br />

Subject aims and description<br />

This subject explores the impact <strong>of</strong> twentieth century<br />

innovation and experimentation in the arts on the dominant<br />

forms <strong>of</strong> literary representation and interpretation. The<br />

implications <strong>of</strong> contemporary thought about language will<br />

be considered, particularly in relation to the emergence <strong>of</strong><br />

new critical methods. These have challenged assumptions<br />

about what literature is, its relationship to society, and how<br />

it should be interpreted and valued.<br />
