The lecture offers an overview of U.S. American literary history since World War I. It is complemented by a Lektüreseminar in which selected texts from the respective periods are discussed in greater depth. The courses are based on the Norton Anthology of American Literature (Shorter Seventh Edition), which is an essential text for the study of American literature. Additional texts will be available on moodle and in a folder in the library. Credits are based on regular attendance, participation in class discussions, an oral presentation or, in exceptional cases, a short written assignment. B.A. students in American Studies will be tutored by more advanced students in the Master program. For the lecture, no registration is necessary. |
