HUMN300-002-202240 1922: A Year in Lit & Art, ENGL370-002-202240 1922: Year in Lit, Art, & Musi, HONR385-002-202240 1922: A Year in Lit & Art

The year 1922 saw the publication of two landmark literary works: James Joyce's Ulysses and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. While the two publications caused a stir, other noteworthy creative works came to light that year, as well, with artists and writers attempting to address the Great War, the 1918 pandemic, and, at least, in the U.S., racial inequality.

Now, a hundred years later, this class will treat 1922 as a Time Capsule of literary and artistic achievement and struggle. We’ll read texts, consider Modernist paintings, listen to Jazz tunes, and view a famous “silent” film--all from the year 1922.
