HU 423 - American Literature3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
The objective of this course is to acquaint students with representative selections from the main periods in American literature, beginning with the Native-American oral traditions (pre-colonization) and continuing through the 21st century. The various movements in American literature are explained and discussed, as are the various social, political, religious, historical, and economic conditions which helped to produce them. Students read the works of a variety of different writers in each period, and they read essays, poetry, and short stories as well as a novel and a play. It is hoped that, as a result of their reading, students will come to appreciate how American literature has evolved to its present status as a world-class literature.
