To read, discuss, and critically analyze two novellas by Mark Twain.
Students will also learn how to introduce secondary sources into their academic writing.
Mark Twain has been called the “Father of American Literature” and his impact on American literature has not diminished with time. In this course, we will study two of Twain's humorous novellas, "Extracts from Adam's Diary" (1904) and "Eve's Diary" (1905). Set in the Garden of Eden, Twain reinterprets the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, and in the process offers an early 20th-century critique of gender roles. At the end of the semester, we will briefly examine the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and learn the importance this book had on American Literature.
