- Class Description:
- From the Cold War and the social movements of the 1960s to the rise of digital culture and the political instability of today, the last half century of American life has been a time of tumult and upheaval, for better and for worse. How has creative writing responded to the vast social and political challenges of this chaotic period? How have creative writers handled the emergence of rivals to literature's cultural centrality in the form of new media such as cinema, television, and the Internet? To answer these questions, our course will provide a historical survey of American literature from the mid-twentieth century to the present. We will situate these literary works in their historical and social contexts even as we analyze their artistic qualities to learn how literature remains relevant to our ever-changing society. As this course is also an introduction to literature more generally, we will pay careful attention to literary form and literary history; as this is a writing-intensive course, we will focus on responding to literature in written argument.
