I'm re-posting the updated course description for EGL 218, American Literature II at the Manhattan Campus of Stony Brook University. Seats are still available, and you can enroll at the SOLAR Stony Brook enrollment web site.
EGL 218: American Literature II
The Civil War to World War II
Summer Session 2: July 11 to August 18
Monday/Wednesday 9:30 AM to 12:55 PM
SOLAR course number 60501
Fulfills DEC K requirement.
After a war that tore apart the nation along regional, racial, and economic lines, and with the approach of a war that will tear apart another continent, how do American authors sacrifice their romantic hopes and begin to write realistic and modern interpretations of our lives and our identities?
Authors will include Paul Laurence Dunbar, Henry James, Kate Chopin, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston.
The class also compares written and visual texts by reading the illustrations from Stephen Crane’s works and a graphic novel inspired by the works of Mark Twain.
