In the 20th century, we have seen the decline of Empire and the emergence of a new, post-colonial world order. How did these sweeping changes impact the literary landscape of the Modern Period? In this unit, we will examine the legacy of colonization and the emergence of new voices capable of re-writing history and re-defining the destiny and cultural significance of English literature. In the process, we will pay particular attention to the ways in which former subjects have negotiated with English literary conventions in order to “make it new” once more.
