ENGL278 — Great American Writers II
This course helps students track the development of some of American Literature's most innovative genres and important literary movements, including magazine fiction, horror stories, Native American literature, modernist novels, imagist poetry, African American Literature, nature writing, postmodern fiction, and literature of the pandemic. Focusing on the development of American literature from the Civil War (1865) to the Contemporary (right up to 2020, or 'the year that wasn't'), the class illuminates the cultural and historical context of some of America's most revolutionary and surprising forms of literary expression.
