Their poetry, too, is edgy, experimental, unconventional, often transgressive in both form and perspective. We will spend several weeks with each poet, focusing on close readings of their poems in the light of their historical circumstances. This course will deal with several major colonial and postcolonial novels, and will focus on major issues at stake in contemporary discussions of colonial and postcolonial literature. Among the novelists to be included are Kipling, Conrad, Forster, Achebe, Naipaul, and Rushdie. The course will explore, through a combination of lecture and discussion, the picture of the society depicted in each novel, the views or world-views it affirms or critiques, and the implications of the stances it suggests for the society whose hopes and aspirations it seeks to celebrate or question.
