“Takehome” Midterm Exam / E F316N/CL S315: Masterworks of Literature: World / Summer 2021 / Prof. Nehring
Instructions: Your essay should be 1000-1250 words in length. (With one-inch margins, that’s about four to five pages.) Treat the essay as a sit-down exam, not a formal paper: gather your materials, give them some thought, and start writing. You should certainly proofread the result, but don’t worry about extensive revision.
A paper with little or no citation cannot receive a grade higher than a ‘C.’
THE ASSIGNMENT:
The four “movements” in the arts we have (or will have) covered are listed below.
Select one author from each of three different lists to write on: your exam should concern just three persons. Compare and contrast the three authors’ works—discuss similarities and differences between them, that is.
ROMANTICISM MODERNISM AVANT-GARDE POSTMODERNISM
Wordsworth Baudelaire Brecht Borges
Eliot Breton Calvino*
Woolf Huelsenbeck Garcia Marquez
Yeats Loy Gun
Marinetti
