'Annus Mirabilis': 1922 and the Modernist Revolution

1922 is seen as the 'miracle year' of literary modernism, with the publication of TS Eliot’s The Waste Land, James Joyce’s Ulysses, and Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room. What was it about this moment of history - under the shadow of the Great War and with the ‘Jazz Age’ about to begin - that produced these astonishing classics? This course will examine modernist writing techniques as well as the social, cultural and technological conditions that were reflected in these pioneering literary texts.
