TT 12:30 BUDDEN DISTRIBUTION I: P DISTRIBUTION II: HU This course examines significant literary works by five of the most important writers from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century. These authors both reflected and affected the ages in which they lived. Each produced works which have become classics because of the accuracy with which they represent human nature and eras in history. As well as interpreting these great works, we will explore the ideas, values and assumptions of the ages during which these authors lived.

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

TT 2:00 HASRATIAN DISTRIBUTION I: A DIVERSITY: US FOCUS In this course, we will examine six writers whose work comprises a singularly American literature even as we show that such literature is as plural as America's people. Each of the six writers struggles with such major cultural categories as ethic and racial origins, class, reproduction, gender, and sexuality. Each writer uses fiction as a formal means of addressing and changing problems that can't be solved in real life, sometimes by inventing novel categories that we continue to inhabit. The narrative fiction for this course may be drawn from Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Stephen Crane or Frank Norris, Zora Neale Hurston or Nella Larsen, William Faulkner, and Nathanael West or Thomas Pynchon. This course is an introduction to American literature and will provide you with the critical tools necessary for understanding how fiction is a living and thinking component of American social and political life. The course's requirements include several short essays and a final research paper.
