【Course Contents】

 This class offers an overview of the history of American literature from the end of the 19th century through the modern era, and students will gain basic knowledge for research into American literature. By understanding the historical and social backgrounds of each work, students will become able to draw upon their scholarly knowledge to read the literary works rather than their own arbitrary interpretations.
 Although the term “literary history” may sound dull, American literature is full of protagonists whose lives are often tragic and bizarre, offering readers examples of life, both good and bad. In this class, students will not only study American literature as an academic discipline, but also actively use their imagination to experience the lives of others.
 The following syllabus lists the important authors of each wave of literary history, but classes will cover a wider range of authors than what is listed on the syllabus.
