Summary:
These 24 half-hour lectures examine tradition and innovation in a representative sampling of Modernist fiction -- the experimental masterpieces of Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and others that helped to make the early 20th century a decisive moment in the history of
literature
. The lectures assume no prior knowledge of our authors and always begin by offering a basic historical, cultural, or biographical context for the texts studied.
