American Studies

Description:

This course examines characteristic themes of U.S. literature. Topics will vary from semester to semester. Sometimes we will focus on a meta-theme like the American Dream, and how it changed over time.

Emphasis will be on understanding how these themes emerge from and express social realities, and what their influence has been. Prerequisite: BE II placement
