Hello there.
My name is Victoria McGouran. I am currently a freshman and I am double majoring in English and Education. I wanted to take this course for many reasons, the primary one being that I love literature (as evidenced by my major) and learning how one of the most deeply impacting wars in human history affected literature was an incredibly interesting prospect. The widespread repercussions of the war appear to have been found long after the fighting ended and have had such fascinating ripple effects through the many eras and styles of literature.

Welcome, Victoria. Much
Welcome, Victoria. Much literature and art of the mid to late Twentieth Century was an indirect (if not direct) response to WWI and all that it meant. You should feel free (and encouraged) to pursue a project dealing with the War's after-effects. Much of the course will deal with just that.
