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 21st century literature. Specifically, we will situate the works in their historical contexts and discuss salient themes as well as narrative technique. Texts that are not in the Norton Anthology of American Literature will be available on moodle and as a reader in copyshop "Sprintout," Georgenstraße. Credits are based on regular attendance, participation in class discussions, and an oral presentation or a similar task. Registration via AGNES.
