Reading list
Jan. 5th, 2010 06:03 pmThe booklist for my course next semester has finally been posted. Hurrah! I'm taking a seminar on Modernism, which is made of yay. The texts are intriguingly non-traditional, which is even more yay. The only things I'll be reading again are Picture of Dorian Gray (okay, but I just did it last spring, and it seems unfair to me that it should feature in the Victorian and the Modernism classes when our Irish representative could've been Joyce and thus a thousand times more awesome!), Heart of Darkness (mmm), and Mrs. Dalloway (\O/!). The last two are on the orals reading list, so that'll be useful, even though I reread both of them this past spring.
Other fiction includes Rhys's Voyage in the Dark (I've been meaning to read something by Rhys for a while now, so yay!), Lawrence's Virgin and the Gypsy, Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier, stories by Katherine Mansfield, and Blast 1.
Theorywise, a book called The Gender of Modernity is on the list, to which I say \O/ again, seeing as my essays always wander off into feminist criticism anyway. We're also reading Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, which strikes me as a useful book to have under my belt in general.
Undoubtedly this will be the most difficult class I've taken, but I think it'll be worth it.
