Tuesdays & Thursdays, 10:30-11:30 | Location: Sever 106

 Obviously it’s impossible to cover 100 years of literature in a semester but we will engage intensely with a group of major American novels published approximately 1900-2000. We will study their literary forms and styles: while also setting them in the context of American literary history and the sociopolitical developments with which they were engaged. Authors may include: Hemingway, Faulkner, Hurston, Himes, Larsen, Ellison, DeLillo, Morrison, Hagedorn, Cather.
