General description and relevant information This course will reflect a selection of voices and traditions in nineteenth-century and twentieth-century American literature. The topics are meant to analyse the connection between literature and society, between literary forms and social conventions and values within the limitations of a six-credit semester course . A major goal of the course will be to introduce the student the diverse literatures and the cultures the selected texts represent and interpret. Close attention will be given to the way in which authors use class, place, racial conflict and region to shape their works.
