Additional Course Details:

“Huckleberry Finn through Beloved" is misleading and I hope no one will be disappointed when they browse the course schedule and observe we won’t be reading either of these magnificent novels. We will instead browse a Twain poem,
"Genius", and a different Morrison novel, Sula.

While still maintaining a focus on money, migration, and modernity, this course will instead take us through the Environmental consciousness of American writers through literary movements such as Romanticism/Transcendentalism, Realism, the American Gothic, Naturalism, Modernism, the Beats, Science Fiction, Queer Literature, and Postmodernism. All of these movements will be explored in a variety of different mediums including novels, poetry, short stories, music, film, plays, and graphic narratives. As we proceed through the material, we will explore various teaching and reading strategies for literature including close reads, book clubs, and craft workshops.

This course satisfies a Foundational Literature Surveys requirement for ENGLISH majors.
