- Course Catalog Description:
- This course will survey some of the major literary figures, aesthetic movements, and thematic concerns of US literature from the Civil War to the present. Our investigation will identify common traits in the literature that causes it to fit within three very broad literary historical categories: realism, modernism, and postmodernism. We will explore what makes literature created by the people of the United States distinctly "American" during a period that extends from the Civil War and the outlawing of slavery to women's suffrage, workers' movements, the Great Depression, the First and Second World Wars, and the civil rights movement. In addition to reading and analyzing the literature itself in terms of style, form, genre, and language, we will study it in historical context: the complex interplay between the political, the social, the cultural, and the literary in the United States. This approach rests upon the notion that literature is not created in a vacuum; it is influenced by and influences the world in which it is created.
- Class Description:
- This course will survey major U.S. literary movements, writers, and cultural developments from the mid-1800s through the late 1900s. We'll read for the ways literary genres and movements respond to the historical shifts of the modern era in America, such as the rise of an industrial capitalist economy and major urban centers and attendant shifts in population; changing sexual and gender norms; major wars and political conflicts; and shifting ideological notions of America's place in an increasingly globalized world. Central to our reading will be an examination of the ways that American race relations shaped the priorities of a wide range of literary and cultural tendencies. Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, T.S. Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Robert Lowell, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Sherman Alexie, and Toni Morrison.

In addition to reading and analyzing the literature itself in terms of style, form, genre, and language, we will study it in historical context: the complex interplay between the political, the social, the cultural, and the literary in the United States. This approach rests upon the notion that literature is not created in a vacuum; it is influenced by and influences the world in which it is created.

- Class Description:
- This course will survey major U.S. literary movements, writers, and cultural developments from the mid-1800s through the late 1900s. We'll read for the ways literary genres and movements respond to the historical shifts of the modern era in America, such as the rise of an industrial capitalist economy and major urban centers and attendant shifts in population; changing sexual and gender norms; major wars and political conflicts; and shifting ideological notions of America's place in an increasingly globalized world. Central to our reading will be an examination of the ways that American race relations shaped the priorities of a wide range of literary and cultural tendencies. Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, T.S. Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Robert Lowell, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Sherman Alexie, and Toni Morrison.

- This course will survey some of the major literary figures, aesthetic movements, and thematic concerns of US literature from the Civil War to the present. Our investigation will identify common traits in the literature that causes it to fit within three very broad literary historical categories: realism, modernism, and postmodernism. We will explore what makes literature created by the people of the United States distinctly "American" during a period that extends from the Civil War and the outlawing of slavery to women's suffrage, workers' movements, the Great Depression, the First and Second World Wars, and the civil rights movement. In addition to reading and analyzing the literature itself in terms of style, form, genre, and language, we will study it in historical context: the complex interplay between the political, the social, the cultural, and the literary in the United States. This approach rests upon the notion that literature is not created in a vacuum; it is influenced by and influences the world in which it is created.

- Class Description:
- This course will survey major U.S. literary movements, writers, and cultural developments from the mid-1800s through the late 1900s. We'll read for the ways literary genres and movements respond to the historical shifts of the modern era in America, such as the rise of an industrial capitalist economy and major urban centers and attendant shifts in population; changing sexual and gender norms; major wars and political conflicts; and shifting ideological notions of America's place in an increasingly globalized world. Central to our reading will be an examination of the ways that American race relations shaped the priorities of a wide range of literary and cultural tendencies. Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, T.S. Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Robert Lowell, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Sherman Alexie, and Toni Morrison.

Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, T.S.

- This course will survey some of the major literary figures, aesthetic movements, and thematic concerns of US literature from the Civil War to the present. Our investigation will identify common traits in the literature that causes it to fit within three very broad literary historical categories: realism, modernism, and postmodernism. We will explore what makes literature created by the people of the United States distinctly "American" during a period that extends from the Civil War and the outlawing of slavery to women's suffrage, workers' movements, the Great Depression, the First and Second World Wars, and the civil rights movement. In addition to reading and analyzing the literature itself in terms of style, form, genre, and language, we will study it in historical context: the complex interplay between the political, the social, the cultural, and the literary in the United States. This approach rests upon the notion that literature is not created in a vacuum; it is influenced by and influences the world in which it is created.

- Class Notes:
- For the syllabus and more course details, see https://ccaps.umn.edu/oes-courses/survey-american-literatures-and-cultures-ii
- Class Description:
- This course will survey U.S. literature from 1860 to today, with three broad areas of focus: 1) How revolutions in race, class, sexuality, and gender both inform and are informed by the literature of the period; 2) The shift in genre from realism to naturalism and from modernism to post-modernism; 3) The role of the speculative (both in the sense of imagining new futures and re-remembering the past) in the American cultural imagination. While the class is focused on the literature of the period, students should expect to learn broadly about the cultural history of this period through occasional study of music, visual art, politics, and economics. Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Eugene O'Neil, W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Ann Petry, Alan Ginsberg, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Sherman Alexie, and Toni Morrison.
- Who Should Take This Class?:
- Anyone hoping to learn about the literature, culture, and history of the United States!
- Grading:
- Students will likely be required to: write a series of papers (some short, some long); do a group presentation and lead discussion on one of the class texts; read attentively and carefully while participating in class discussions.
- Exam Format:
- There probably won't be exams (assuming that the class reads and participates in discussion). I may use pop-quizzes to ensure that you are reading and keeping up with the course material.

We'll read for the ways literary genres and movements respond to the historical shifts of the modern era in America, such as the rise of an industrial capitalist economy and major urban centers and attendant shifts in population; changing sexual and gender norms; major wars and political conflicts; and shifting ideological notions of America's place in an increasingly globalized world. Central to our reading will be an examination of the ways that American race relations shaped the priorities of a wide range of literary and cultural tendencies. Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, T.S. Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Robert Lowell, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Sherman Alexie, and Toni Morrison.

- Course Catalog Description:
- This course will survey some of the major literary figures, aesthetic movements, and thematic concerns of US literature from the Civil War to the present. Our investigation will identify common traits in the literature that causes it to fit within three very broad literary historical categories: realism, modernism, and postmodernism. We will explore what makes literature created by the people of the United States distinctly "American" during a period that extends from the Civil War and the outlawing of slavery to women's suffrage, workers' movements, the Great Depression, the First and Second World Wars, and the civil rights movement. In addition to reading and analyzing the literature itself in terms of style, form, genre, and language, we will study it in historical context: the complex interplay between the political, the social, the cultural, and the literary in the United States. This approach rests upon the notion that literature is not created in a vacuum; it is influenced by and influences the world in which it is created.

- Class Description:
- This course will survey major U.S. literary movements, writers, and cultural developments from the mid-1800s through the late 1900s. We'll read for the ways literary genres and movements respond to the historical shifts of the modern era in America, such as the rise of an industrial capitalist economy and major urban centers and attendant shifts in population; changing sexual and gender norms; major wars and political conflicts; and shifting ideological notions of America's place in an increasingly globalized world. Central to our reading will be an examination of the ways that American race relations shaped the priorities of a wide range of literary and cultural tendencies. Writers studied will likely include figures like Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Charles Chesnutt, Edith Wharton, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, T.S. Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Robert Lowell, Lorraine Hansberry, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Sherman Alexie, and Toni Morrison.

- English Lit 3006W covers a vast and transformative period in American literature, from post-Civil War to the present day. Because of the panoply of voices which have come forth in this time period, the readings are varied and unique, covering selections from both within and outside the canon. Writers studied in the course frequently include Robert Frost, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and Henry James, along with such authors as Leslie Marmon Silko, Black Elk, Toni Morrison, M. Scott Momaday, and Sandra Cisneros. Students learn to ask: What does a canon mean? Who creates it, who perpetuates it, and who alters or enlarges it? What constitutes an "American" experience, and an American literature? English 3006 examines how literature informs and influences society, while also being a product of society. The course is designed to give students a thorough overview of the richness and diversity of American thought and writing.

English 3006 examines how literature informs and influences society, while also being a product of society. The course is designed to give students a thorough overview of the richness and diversity of American thought and writing.

- Class Description:
- This survey covers the latter half of nineteenth-century and first half of twentieth-century "American" literatures and cultures. I use the quotation marks around American, because one of the main projects of the course will be to figure out what we mean when we speak that name. Are we referring to a land mass; if so, why, then, exclude that which falls north and south of our national borders? Or to be more specific, why read works written almost exclusively by people living in the Northeast? Do we mean a Nation; if so, why not use its proper name? What do we mean by cultures; whose culture, that of the indigenous peoples or of the various migrants who have come voluntarily and involuntarily to these lands from elsewhere? If "America" consists of a variety of cultures, whose version of each do we read? Who gets to tell the story of him/herself and his/her place within this culture, nation, land mass; old people or young, men or women, rich people or poor? A nation founded by settlers seeking freedom and fortune, convening through text and war, declaiming equality and inscribing slavery, exploiting and celebrating resources and labor: These contradictions have been crucial to the history of discourses about "America" since its "conquest" (to use Tzvetan Todorov's term). We are merely participating in the latest version of this very heated, in fact deadly, controversy. Designed for undergraduates and majors

- Class Description:
- English Lit 3006W covers a vast and transformative period in American literature, from post-Civil War to the present day. Because of the panoply of voices which have come forth in this time period, the readings are varied and unique, covering selections from both within and outside the canon. Writers studied in the course frequently include Robert Frost, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and Henry James, along with such authors as Leslie Marmon Silko, Black Elk, Toni Morrison, M. Scott Momaday, and Sandra Cisneros. Students learn to ask: What does a canon mean? Who creates it, who perpetuates it, and who alters or enlarges it? What constitutes an "American" experience, and an American literature? English 3006 examines how literature informs and influences society, while also being a product of society. The course is designed to give students a thorough overview of the richness and diversity of American thought and writing.
