LIT 5402 - American Nobel Laureates

Institution:

St. Francis College

Subject:

Description:

In this seminar, we read, listen to, and view works of prose, poetry, and drama from American Nobel Laureates. Students explore the reasons why the Nobel Committee selected a particular author for this prestigious award. Students are also expected to develop familiarity with American culture and aesthetics through oral reports. Through course discussion, presentations, and writing, we collectively attempt to articulate why certain American authors have been singled out for international literary and aesthetic fame and we place these authors within a globalized aesthetic framework. Prerequisite: Open to students in Honors program only. 3 credits. Offered as planned by Honors Council.
