Assess graduate students' understanding of narrative perspective and focalization in 20th-century modernist fiction by requiring identification and analysis of focalizers, types of focalization (internal, external, zero), shifts in point of view, and effects on reliability, temporality, and theme; include close-reading of brief excerpts and application of theoretical terminology (e.g., Genette, Bal) to authors such as Woolf, Joyce, and Faulkner.
