Writing to learn
How did the modern warfare of World War I change those who fought and those who stayed at home? Why did so many of the best American artists flee to Paris? How did the traditionalism and stability of the 1950s lead to the radicalism and rebellion of the 60s? How has technology, from the typewriter to the internet, reshaped literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework though extensive readings in American literature from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as progress and innovation, war, the “lost generation,” the New Woman, race, and conformity and individuality. In addition to satisfying a core Integrations in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement, this course also fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with Literature Emphasis and English with Creative Writing Emphasis majors, a literature requirement for English with Professional Writing Emphasis majors, and is one of two options for English with Secondary Education Emphasis majors. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.
