English

Description:

Readings in twentieth century southern fiction from 1900 - 1960, including Kate Chopin, Jean Toomer, William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Flannery O'Connor, and Eudora Welty. We will examine both the recurring subjects of the Jim Crow era -- "sin, sex, and segregation," in the old Southern phrase -- and the stylistic innovations of the writers.
