Modern Imagination is a writing-intensive course that allows students to apply the close-reading and discussion skills learned in earlier English Core classes. This course explores various artistic responses to the fragmentation of personhood caused by the disintegrating forces of modernity. Jane Austen, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Flannery O’Connor, T.S. Eliot, and other important modern authors challenge students to consider what the persistence of the Christian imagination means for themselves and their cultural moment.
