Institution:

Albright College

Subject:

Description:

As a survey of American literature and culture, this course introduces students to some of the major themes and writers in American history via discussion of a variety of works produced by American authors. Some writers will receive some depth of treatment, but we will treat most authors briefly in order to focus on the author's place in the development of American cultural expectations. As a consequence, questions of canonicity and of the mutual shaping of canon and cultural expectations will be recurring themes of the course.
