Description:

3 s.h. This course centers on Mark Twain, one of America's most beloved literary figures. Celebrated and censored, Twain's work continues to be relevant to America's preoccupations with its identity-especiallyin terms of race, region, and class-as well as its status among other nations. His role as literary innovator and cultural commentator will be examined through the lens of both the post-Civil War era and our own historical moment. Readings will include all of his major novels-Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Pudd'nheadWilson, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court-as well asshort stories, fables, and his enigmatic "dream tales." Films, literarycriticism, and other sources will situate Twain's continued influence on both American literary history and popular culture.
