We will read a variety of works in poetry and prose, fiction and non-fiction, by diverse writers, including men and women and members of different races and ethnic groups and from various regions of North American that became the United States. We will pay attention to the evolution of forms (such as the emergence of the short story and the novel) and to aesthetic movements (such as Romanticism), but our primary concern will be reading literary texts in relation to their cultural and historical contexts. Teaching Method: Brief lectures, whole-class discussion, and small group work. Requirements: Three sets of examinations spread over the semester, with each exam consisting of an in-class exercise requiring the identification and explication of quotations and a take-home essay. Tentative Reading List: All readings will be drawn from the Bedford Anthology of American Literature, volume 1, supplemented by two or three longer works. 16 – UNL DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, SPRING 2014
