Modernism
We will be studying a specific literary period, which is essential for understanding literature from different time periods, and the period immediately after WWI is a good starting point.
We will be reading different types of texts. Of course, poetry plays an important role, as a number of famous poets were also soldiers in the trenches of WWI.
