Course Objective |
This course examines in detail some of the key texts of the American mid-twentieth century, looking at both poetic and prose texts while working towards an understanding of the historical and cultural contexts in which these writings were published. As well as understanding the set texts students should also add to their understanding of this crucial period in the development of American literature. The course will feature a particular emphasis on the mental and spiritual torment of many mid-century writers. |
