ENG 253 - Survey of American Literature
College-level reading and writing skills (a passing grade in WR 115 or placement into WR 121) are strongly recommended for success in this course. Survey of American Literature is a two-term sequence to acquaint students with representative works of important American writers, literary forms, and significant currents of thought. Primary emphasis is on reading and engaging with the literary materials, with an introduction to practices of literary interpretations. Questions of genre, authorship, aesthetics, and literary movements may be examined in their relationships to social, political, and intellectual movements in the United States. The first term will draw on material from colonial settlement in the Americas through the Civil War period.
