ENG 2312 - American Literature: Civil War to Present

3 cr

This course examines the formal and philosophical features of American literature from the Civil War to the present, particularly those features wrought by the Civil War, by urbanization, by advances in science and psychology, and by the two world wars. Reading includes fiction, poetry, and drama that characterize and illustrate literary regionalism, realism, naturalism, and modernism-and that begin to characterize contemporary American literature by, and against, those traditions. Course offered every third semester, consult Department Chair for cycle offering.
