Inhoud
This course introduces some of the key literary works of U.S. American literature written or set during the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century (1860s to 1960s). We will study the aesthetic, intellectual, cultural and/or political impact of literary works at their time of publication. Discussion in lectures and seminars will also consider the possible legacies of the texts: how they continue to shape intellectual debates, literary history, and cultural practices in the twenty-first century in the U.S. and in the broader field of literatures in English.
