Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The aim of this seminar is to acquaint students with novels by prominent American writers composed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Apart from William Faulkner, whose achievement as the most significant writer from the American South was recognized by the Nobel Prize in literature, the authors chosen were either early expatriates or as Midwesterners responded intensely to their experiences in Europe during the Jazz Age. Their novels quickly put American fiction on the map and alerted European readers to the literary potential and achievements of North American writers.
