- 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:
- 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.
