There's so much to read and so little time, but this is an amazing course with a stunning and challenging syllabus. Literature 4: The Modern Era is perfect for the literary-minded high school junior or senior. We span a wide variety of works including books by Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Twain, Faulkner, Hemingway, and Orwell, and finish with a memorable novel from the 21st century.\u003cb\u003eSee course book list below.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis class meets on Wednesdays at 12 pm, Eastern Standard Time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: var(--bs-body-font-weight);\"\u003eNote: Space is limited.
