This class blends reading modernist novels with contemporary platforms in digital scholarship.

First, the required print texts for the course:

James Baldwin, Go Tell It on the Mountain [978-0385334570],

Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent [978-0141441580],

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World [978-0060850524], and

Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway (Annotated) [978-0156030359].

And the following is recommended:

James Joyce, Ulysses [978-0679722762] (we will read one or two chapters).

The balance of possible course material, which will ultimately be determined on a week-by-week or even a class-by-class basis—depending upon our conversations, student interests, and the trajectories of course—will become available on this site.  These texts will be digitized, or they will already be digital, and uploaded for access online.

In terms of digital scholarship, we’ll be using the following:

Twitter,

WordPress blogging platform,

Zotero research tool,

Flickr’s Library of Congress photostream,

Modernist Journals Project,

JSTOR’s Data for Research visualizations,

UbuWeb, and

Google Maps.
