MODERN FICTION
COURSE CODE : 762201
Course Description:
Modern fiction examines the development of modern fiction from the flourishing of
experimental modernism in the early 1900s to more contemporary voices and trends. Literary
modernism illustrates the emergence from Victorian norms and its apparent (if not actual)
certainties into an age characterized by disruption and change. The “inward turn” of twentieth
century modernism marked not just a change in literary style, but a disruption and repudiation of
conventional norms to do with the nation- state, religion, family and gender roles. It also signaled
a significant challenge to pre-modern notions of authority and order, and marked the emergence
of hitherto impossible life strategies and subject positions. In short, most of the signposts that
helped to organize the 19th century came under serious pressure in the twentieth century, and the
literature of the century here only because of time constraints represented by British and
American authors reflects this rupture, both in terms of the original creative impulses of high
modernism and the manifold reactions to it.
Course objectives:
1.To initiate the learners to varied aspects of modern fiction.
2.To make them become acquainted with the cultural motifs behind these novels.
Course outcome:
1.Examine short stories and novels analytically and interpretively, to identify and analyze
literary elements like plot, character, setting, tone, point of view, theme, style, symbol, metaphor,
and image.
2.compare and contrast authors’ treatments of theme, character, and subject matter, as well as
synthesize diverse critical studies of a given author or particular short stories or novels.
3.Trace the historical development of the short story and the novel by examining selected
representational works.
