This course is devoted to major American narratives since

in relation to the social transformations of American
culture. Students will make oral presentations on selected
fictions, will take turns in sharing with the instructor the
responsibility of facilitating class discussion, and will
have to do library research on criticism for their final
paper.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Course is designed
primarily for juniors and seniors majoring in English or
