This course will examine the writings of Henry James and Virginia Woolf in a number of different frameworks: periodization (the ongoing debate about modernism and post-modernism); genre (artistic subversions and experimentation with traditional genres; gender (the construction of masculinity and femininity as theme and narrative strategy); national identity (exile, emigre, imperialism, imagining national communities); aesthetics and ethics (concerns about the relation between art and war, between art and commerce); historical and social contexts (social class, commodity culture, “Gilded Age,” and “Victorian-Edwardian England”); self-reflexivity (the authors’ own artistic theories as well as art as theme and the relation to other art forms).
