WCFAH 114 - Searching for America

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore the rich tradition of modern American literature by featuring some of the most captivating texts and innovative authors. While taking a problem-solving approach, it will specifically emphasize pertinent connections between literature and culture. For example, our main problem-solving task will be to interpret literary texts as cultural texts, allowing us to identify how imaginative writing illuminates, interrogates, and complicates fundamental aspects of American culture. We will discover that whether literary protagonists dream of freedom, refuge, success, or happiness, they all imagine and experience modern America in uniquely compelling ways. (WCore: WCFAH and DE)
