From Washington Irving (1783-1859) to Langston Hughes (1902-1967), and from Kate Chopin (1851-1904) to Jhumpa Lahiri (b. 1967), this course will read and analyze a broad selection of American short stories from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The emphasis of this course is to survey the range of subjects, voices, and perspectives that characterize the American short story and, thereby, develop a better understanding of the genre of the short story and the many social, historical, and cultural influences that have shaped literature in America.
Students must complete the readings, explore archival material on the web, and attend all lectures and seminar sessions.
Written work will consist of:
1. Weekly writing and research activities.
2. One, 5-part research paper (3 pages minimum).
3. A revised version of the research paper (this revised version should represent a discernable improvement and/or expansion of the first version).
4. An oral presentation of original research on one of the authors and/or stories discussed during the course.
5. A final quiz that will cover the whole semester (short answer questions and a brief essay).
※Please refer to Japanese Page for details including evaluations, textbooks and others.
