The University of Montana-Western

Subject:

Description:

This course will locate various trends in 20th century American litera-ture from modernism to postmodern sensibility. As the U.S. grew as a global military and economic power, its literature reflected a growing sense of isolation, hopelessness, despair, and disenfranchisement. From the expatriates early in the century to the beats mid-century and beyond, the 20th century may well be the century when American literature found its voice, a voice strengthened by its fragmentation. A variety of teaching and learning practices are included in this course: e.g., traditional lecture, oral readings, group discussions, creative and/or analytical writing, listening activities, oral and/or dramatic presentations, visits with authors, interviews, internet and off-campus activities, research practice, etc. Prereq: ENG 102, or c/i. (fall/even-numbered years)
