ENG 3600 - American Literary Careers (L)

3 cr

This course examines American literature by the study of one significant American writer's literary career. Students investigate the relationship between that writer's life and literary production; the critical reception of that literary production over time; and that writer's effect on the larger unfolding of American literature. This course might on occasion examine two significant writers for insights about American literature that reveal themselves only upon studying one literary career by another.
This course counts towards the Aesthetic Understanding Frame of Reference.
