ENGL 375 - American Short Fiction 19th Century

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

In this course we will read short fiction by both canonical writers, like Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, Twain, and Crane; lesser-known writers, like Alice Cary, Rebecca Harding Davis, Charles Chesnutt, and John Milton Oskison; and some writers who have in recent times reemerged from obscurity, like Jack London, Kate Chopin, and Mary Wilkins Freeman. We will consider how fiction changed in the course of the 19th century and in what ways, if any, race, gender, ethnicity, and geography shape modes of narrative. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written after 1800. 1.00 units, Lecture
