This literature course, paired with the second semester of Perspectives on Art (PHIL 1602), will explore the complex relationship between life and art, between art, ideal and ethics, and between tradition and innovation. Ranging over a wide variety of genres, from poetry to drama, short story to novel and on to cinema, the course will center on the emergence, development, and decline of an artistic consciousness called modern. Attention will be paid to artistic form as well as to historical, psychological, political, and philosophical contexts. Readings will include selections from Byron, Dostoevsky, Melville, Chekhov, Woolf, Kafka, O'Connor, and Sebald.
