LIT123 CM - Fugitives From Utopia: The Writers of Post-War Poland

This course will consider the great literature of post-war Poland in the context of the major historical and social forces that have contributed to its development. Among the authors read will be Herbert, Milosz, Gombrowicz, Szymborska, Kolakowski, Lem, Baranczak, Swir, Singer, and Zagajewski. Because of the immense popularity and influence of many of these authors, almost all are available in very fine English translations. All major genres will be included with particular attention to the stunning body of poetry, some of the 20^th century’s very best.
