Course Overview |
This course will begin with lectures on the social context of the era that spans the years 1919-1929, often called the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties. The era also included innovative American fiction both by white writers and black writers associated with the Harlem Renaissance. Lectures will also cover literary developments associated with Modernism and the 1920s. The course will feature readings from two of these writers, F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose stories tell of white reactions to the times, and Jean Toomer, whose book Cane offers a perspective of black society rarely if ever before seen in U.S. literature. The course will focus on the different approaches these writers used and how the approaches demonstrate social differences in the U.S. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
