Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This lecture course will provide a concise survey of American literary history in its specific contexts, including political and historical developments. Students will be familiarized with some of the key texts of American literature from the Iroquois Creation Story to the contemporary novel. Because of the limited time frame, we will focus on highlights (including Puritanism, Enlightenment, the American Renaissance, Realism and Local Color, Modernism, Postmodernism, and Ethnic Fiction), so additional reading is required.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment will be on the basis of a final written exam.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This lecture course aims to give students an overview of the most important developments within American literary history of the past 300 years and to enable them to apply the critical and analytical tools acquired in this lecture in their own analyses.
Examination topics
Lecture course; active participation and regular reading; final written exam.
