ENG 265 - Introduction to American Literary History

Institution:

University of Southern Indiana

Subject:

English

Description:

ENG 265 provides an overview of the main currents in the development of American literature, from its beginnings in pre-colonial times, through its reliance on and then struggle against British and European themes and forms, to its 20th-century development into the many voices of an uneasily multi-ethnic world power. By historically situating representative works from within the canon as well as from voices traditionally excluded or under-represented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand literature as the product of and often as challenging this background.
