Assess graduate students' ability to analyze narrative reliability and reader positioning in modernist stream-of-consciousness novels (1900–1940). Test includes identifying and explicating techniques (interior monologue, free indirect discourse, focalization shifts, temporal fragmentation, syntactic and punctuation strategies), performing close readings of short passages from canonical authors (e.g., Joyce, Woolf, Richardson, Faulkner), and applying narratological and reader-response concepts to argue how these techniques construct, destabilize, or complicate narrator trustworthiness and guide reader alignment; require textual evidence and engagement with critical perspectives.
