The lecture offers an overview of US American literary history from the 17th century to World War I. In the BA American Studies, it is complemented by a tutorial (Lektüreübung) taught by students from the Master program in American Studies; in the BA English, by a Lektüreseminar. In these courses, selected texts from different literary periods or movements are discussed in greater depth to give students a more thorough and nuanced understanding of North American literature and its development until the early 20th century. |
