Inhalt
The Harlem Renaissance marks one of the most significant moments in the history of American literature: Between the end of World War I and the Great Depression of the 1930s, writers in this movement connected with the African American cultural tradition and participated in creating American modernism. The Harlem Renaissance was a social, political, and aesthetic movement as well as an artistic revolution, and is inseparable from the social context of Harlem in the 1920s which included high-brow literary saloons, rent parties, Jazz clubs, ball rooms, theaters, journals, and book stores.

In this seminar, we will talk about the literature of this movement in the context of its music and art, and with special emphasis on the women who shaped it. We will read Georgia Douglas Johnson s play Plumes (1927), Nella Larsen s Quicksand (1928), Zora Neale Hurston s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and some of her short stories, as well as poetry by Angelina Weld Grimké, Anne Spencer, and Gwendolyn Bennet, in relation to texts, songs, and art by other players of this movement (including W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Bessy Smith, Josephine Baker, Paul Robeson, Alaine Locke, Countee Cullen, Jean Toomer). More information and readings will be available on the Virtual Campus soon.

This class will be taught in a blended format, combining asynchronous assignments with in-class-room meetings (on Zoom or, COVID permitting, in the lecture hall). The first meet-ing will take place on Zoom.

Empfohlene Literatur
Please purchase:

1. Nella Larsen s Quicksand (1928), ideally the Norton critical edition with footnotes, ed. by Carla Kaplan
2. Zora Neale Hurston s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937)

You should get and start reading both novels immediately. The overall reading load in this seminar is heavy, so to get a head start, read the novels during the semester break.

Further readings will be made available via the VC.
