The purpose of this course is to survey American fiction writers from approximately 1910 to 1960: readings include novels and short fiction of the period. The course explores varieties of experimentation with literary form, race and politics depicted through artistic primitivism, regionalism in American fiction as a way of preserving unique cultures within the post-Civil War integrated nation, the cultural impact of expatriation upon American fiction writers, and shifts in attitudes toward gender and sexuality in the 20th century. Students evaluate and produce written and oral responses to authors assigned in the course, including Stein, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Barnes, Cather, Wright, O'Connor, and others.
