LARTS 389 — American Literature: the 1920’s

Prerequisite: LARTS 112  . In this course, we will examine some of the most iconic works of the 1920s and investigate how the authors of these quintessentially American texts translated their concerns about American culture into a modernist literary sensibility. Texts may include Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, and Eliot’s The Wasteland.
