LIT165 CM - Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud

Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud have exerted a dominant influence not only upon literary criticism but upon the entire intellectual culture of advanced modernity. We will study a selection of their works in a broad cultural context, beginning with Enlightenment precursors like Voltaire and Rousseau, taking account of important contemporaries like Darwin, and ending with postmodernist disciples like Thomas Pynchon and Michel Foucault.
