Description:

MWF 12:00 NURHUSSEIN DISTRIBUTION I: A DIVERSITY: US FOCUS In this course, we will read the work of six writers who spent part or all of their writing lives in the United States and consider how each writer contributed to the development of a peculiarly American idiom. Each of the six writers struggles with the question of what characterizes American literature and language, and what distinguishes it from other national literatures and languages. The texts chosen for this course-verse and prose by Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, Gertrude Stein, William Faulkner, and Zora Neale Hurston-together compose an introduction to American literature. The course's requirements include several essays, an oral presentation, and a final exam
