In this course, which is offered in conjunction with the lecture on American Literary History from World War I until today, B.A. students in American Studies are tutored by more advanced students in the Master program. Together, they will look more closely at selected texts from literary Modernism to early 21st century literature, situate the works in their historical contexts, and discuss salient themes as well as narrative technique.
This course has been adapted to an online format.
Credit is based on regular "attendance" (i.e. checking online each week to see what has been posted), participation in group discussions online, an oral presentation (to be uploaded on Moodle), as well as short, easy pop quizzes (which ensure that you have read the texts).
