Comment/Description

This lecture will provide an overview over the history of American literature through the various periods of literary and social development. The lecture will introduce students to some of the most important writers and selected texts of their oeuvre and will discuss the literary aesthetics and genres that are usually influenced by historical events. Mandatory texts to read are assigned for each lecture, from the early beginnings of American literature to contemporary times.

For the Basic module Introduction to English Literatures (Part 2), students can choose between History of British Literature and History of American Literature; students can attend both lectures if interested but have to finish one with a written exam. Students may not write the exam in both and choose the better result; students have to choose the exam beforehand.

All reading and information material will be made available through Stud.IP; hence prior enrollment via Stud.IP is mandatory.
Requirements are regular attendance, in-depth knowledge of reading material, and active class discussion. Reading the texts is mandatory.

Registration mode

After enrolment, participants will manually be selected.

Potential participants are given additional information before enroling to the course.
