- Vorlesung
2 SWS, Schein
Zeit und Ort: Do 12:15 - 13:45, U5/217
- Inhalt
- The lectures will address central texts and issues of American literary and cultural history of the late revolutionary period and of the period of the early American republic. The 1770s to 1820s mark the transitional period that led to the creation of the modern USA: political independence, combined with the ideology of equality, unleashed a burst of energy and expansion unimaginable during colonial times, and led to far-reaching social, economic, and cultural changes. The lectures will introduce this dynamic, in many ways tension-ridden historical period, in which many artists and intellectuals tried to contribute to the creation of a unique national identity, by focusing on the diversity of its literary and cultural production. While the focus of attention will be on literary texts – on poetry, drama, and narrative texts (and here, most significantly, on the historical, the sentimental, and the gothic novel) – the cultural work of non-fictional texts as well as of the arts will also be considered.
