Instructor: DiMaggio| Tues 9:30 AM – 12:20 PM
This course provides a survey of poetic, fictional, political, autobiographical, and critical texts central to representations of pregnancy, reproduction, and abortion in literary Modernism from 1900-1945. This course focuses primarily on American Modernism and is grounded in the American political and legal cultures of the Modernist aesthetic movement, though students are welcome to explore transnational modernisms in their own writing and research insofar as their work is related to the course’s thematic explorations.
