Lektüreübung - American Literary History II - Detailseite

In this course, which is offered in conjunction with the lecture on American Literary History from World War I until today, we will look more closely at selected texts from literary Modernism to early 21^st century literature. Specifically, we will situate the works in their historical contexts and discuss salient themes as well as narrative technique. In order to receive credit for this course, you have to read the texts, contribute to class discussions, take part in a group presentation of a specific text or complete a similar task, and in some cases pass a few pop quizzes.
