Course Catalog Description:
In this course, we will read and study novels of twentieth and twenty-first century American writers, from early 1900's realism through Modernists (e.g., Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald) to more contemporary writers (e.g., Baldwin, Ellison, Erdrich, Roth, Pynchon). We will explore each text in relation to literary, cultural, and historical developments and question the narrative and stylistic strategies specific to each work.
Class Description:
This course will examine the development of the twentieth-century U.S. novel, situating that development in the historical contexts of the century. We'll consider realist and regionalist responses to the diversification and urbanization of the country; modernist negotiations of industrialism and changing social norms; proletarian literary protests of the intersection of capitalism, racism, and patriarchy; and a range of responses to post-World War II American society.

Central to our study will be a focus on what Toni Morrison has termed "playing in the dark": the way American fiction uses figures and representations of racial blackness in order to accomplish its aesthetic, epistemological, and political priorities. The twentieth-century American novel has played a major role in shaping current understandings of race in the United States, a process we'll work to reconstruct in class conversations.

Class Description:
America is a novel--it's new, it's complex, it's polyvocal--containing a multiplicity of characters, voices, stories, regions and points of view. This course reads some of the BIG AMERICAN BOOKS of the twentieth century to try to figure out what this modern nation and its narration is all about. It works through questions of modernist form as well as the interpenetration of popular culture and literary traditions through considerations of economic, social and political contexts as well as strategies of close textual analysis.
