Focus on novels spanning the 19th-21st centuries in order to interrogate the meaning of "contemporary." How do writers think about the literary past in their works? How and why do contemporary texts echo, rewrite, reinvent, or renounce their forebears? Readings include novels that speak to one another across time, place, and cultural difference by grouping "older" and "newer" works by Charlotte Bronte, Jean Rhys, Mary Shelley, Margaret Atwood, Virginia Woolf, Ian McEwan and Michael Cunningham. Relevant clips from film adaptations will contribute to analysis.
