Shmoop Literature Courses Overview

[KayV]

Point out these courses. The overarching theme is that they are all upper level and feature at least some overlap. Post-Modernist Literature, of course, is the next literary period.

I begin to suspect that the evaluators did not even realize that Modernism does not mean modern literature, but rather the literature of ca. 1850-1950.

That syllabus does not look like an intro course to say the least.
