Urban Studies

Topics in this survey of American literature since the Civil War will include major prose writers and literary movements. We will make an effort to situate texts in their historical contexts.

MAJOR READINGS

The instructor reserves the right to determine the precise works to be read at a time much closer to the beginning of the course than is allowed under the current system of announcing courses; however, it is probable that most of the following authors will be represented: Chesnutt, Howells, Wharton, Twain, James, Crane, Gilman, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Hurston, Cather, and Wright.

EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS

Midterm examination, a final examination and a final paper.
