ENG 206 - Topic/ Lit: The Twentieth Century Novel

Institution:

Southern Maine Community College

Subject:

Description:

This course surveys the 20th century novel. While the focus will be on the American novel, students will read at least two non American novels as well. The novel both as an artistic form and a cultural and political artifact will be examined. The course will explore the literary canon, the works that many believe should be read and studied for all time: How is the canon formed Who deserves to be included When appropriate, the course will cover literary movements and periods. This is not to say an author has to be part of a specific group to merit biographical attention; the private and public lives of all the novelists on the reading list will be touched upon, in part to further understand how a great work gets written, but also in part because many of these novelists are simply fascinating people.
