Savannah College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

From Edith Wharton and The Age of Innocence (1905) to Mary Gordon and her not-so-innocent Spending (1998), writers have recognized New York City as a center of civilization and a Mecca of modern culture. The literary wealth of the period surrounding the wars includes the emergence of Dorothy Parker and the Algonquin Round Table and Langston Hughes and The Harlem Renaissance; one of the hallmarks of American literature, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, was also produced during this time. Students explore the writings and haunts of these and other notable authors inspired by New York, including Wallace Stevens, J.D. Salinger and Philip Roth. Prerequisite: ENGL 123.
