Extended program	The course aims to explore the role and function of the short story in modernism, as a narrative form alternative to the novel, but also as a structural component of the novel itself. Examples from Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce will be examined. In particular, the course will demonstrate two opposing movements within modernism, one that goes from the short story to the novel and the other that goes from the novel to the short story.
