>> No.6729074

>>6729004
I should have mentioned that where I am from we did not study Orwell and Golding in high-school.

About Ishiguro,however, I believe that they inserted 'The Remains of the Day' because we devoted a good part of our British Society and Culture classes to the topic of the fading nobility and their outdated values, so they decided it would be good to read it. This semester we discussed the film that is based on the book.

Nor did I study Orwell or Golding at school.

This list is embarrassing and shows little understanding of the modernist movement. There is more to modernism than the themes of a text. Also I'm not one to apply strict dates to a literary period but modernism is quite distinct in that it primarily takes part in the 1910s and 1920s. At least I say that as the list you've been given and from what you've said suggests you're focussing on British modernism rather than American or continental.

>> No.6731114

Yes, the course is on British Modernism exclusively.

This isn't very helpful of the university.

We had our Victorian lit. reading list changed.

We were supposed to study 'Dubliners' and 'Sons and Lovers' but we studied 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' and 'Middlemarch'.

and if you don't read george eliot in a VICTORIAN LIT class because you're too busy reading two 20th century works your school is obviously pandering and failing you
