On June 6-8, Caucasus University Bookstore Librarea, at the initiative of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, hosted young scholars of American and English literature who spoke on English and American high modernism. The meetings provided students with an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of one of the largest and most diverse eras in the history of literature.

Young researchers - Keti Jmukhadze, Lizi Dzagnidze, Nino Chincharauli, Ana Palagashvili and Sopho Geliashvili - introduced the students to several important authors of high modernism, talked about some peculiarities of the modernist era. The poetics of the city were discussed with Joyce and the Modernists, the musicalization of literature, and the counterpoint pattern in Huxley and Joyce's novels, the meaning of Thomas Elliott's "The Waste Land" and the notion of reassessment as well as the general overview of W. H. Auden’s and Djuna Barnes’ works. It should be noted that these last two authors are less known and studied in Georgia.

Interesting discussions were held at the end of the meetings.
