CEEL 0941 - Survey of American Literature

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

American Literature can be divided into five major periods. Examining what was written during each time period and in what form provides a historical context of America and an idea of what it was like to live during each particular era. In this course, you will develop your English writing skills and explore various forms of "the story". We consider a collection of written works and movies, relevant to American culture, and carefully examine how different aspects of language - metaphor, word choice, tense- function to create successful narratives. Various genres will be read and discussed, including articles, poems, short stories, and essays.
