Inhalt:

This lecture provides an overview of American literary history from the 1880s until today, focusing on the characteristic features of realism, naturalism, modernism, and post-modernism.

For each of these periods, the thematic, formal and stylistic elements of a wide range of novels, plays, short stories, poems, and essays will be discussed in the broader context of the United States' cultural and intellectual history. In order to understand how different groups of Americans have imagined their culture at specific moments in time, we will analyze texts that address the diversity of American experiences in terms of race, class, gender, region, and political conviction. We will also explore how literary texts have critically engaged with the past and with other cultures, charting new directions for the relationship between literature and culture. Overall, we will investigate to which degree processes of modernization and the ideal of democratization can be understood as one of American literature's major driving forces.
