Reading list for ENGL33052 Improper Modernism: Samuel Beckett and Djuna Barnes

Improper Modernism: Samuel Beckett and Djuna Barnes

 

The unit will study the oeuvres of Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) and Djuna Barnes (1892-1982). Beckett has been read as a ‘late modernist’ (Miller, 1999) and Barnes as a ‘bad modernist’ (Mao and Walkowitz, 2006), because of their close connections with modernist linguistic experimentalism and their critique of what by the 1930s were perceived to be modernist dogmas. After a few introductory sessions on modernism (with a focus on some high modernists), the course will analyse in close detail a select number of texts by both authors and link them to wider critical debates around cultural and aesthetic value, authority, intertextuality, and periodization in the twentieth century.

 

The module’s aim is twofold; on the one hand, it wants to familiarise students with the complex work of a major twentieth-century literary author – Samuel Beckett – and a less known one – Djuna Barnes. On the other hand, the module wants to use Beckett and Barnes as case studies to engage in a number of debates about modern aesthetics and epistemology, literary history and periodization, and questions of literary value and complexity in the twentieth century.

 

The course will be based on the close analysis of the primary texts and related criticism, emphasising how the complexity of the material at hand can help us to rethink some key literary and critical questions in the twentieth-century, such as cultural value, authority, intertextuality, and periodization.

Please note that some of the material for this course will only be available via Blackboard and/or in a course handbook at the start of the next academic year.  However, the following primary texts are widely available;

 

Thomas Carlyle, Chartism, (1839) [often available in selections of Carlyle's writings]

NB: Texts marked with an asterisk (*) are available in the Oxford World's Classics series and I strongly advise students to buy these editions.

In terms of secondary reading, you will find it helpful to have an understanding of the general historical context from 1830 to 1860.  J.F.C. Harrison's Early Victorian Britain, 1832-1851, provides a good overview, and can be usefully supplemented by K. Theodore Hoppen's The Mid-Victorian Generation (1998).  I have annotated the longer secondary reading list (where appropriate) to assist you in deciding what to read.
