ENGL 377 - Literature of the Americas

3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Graded or pass/fail
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course aims to provide students with an understanding the relationship between U.S. and Latin American literature. The course focus varies each semester, and may survey nineteenth-century nationalism in their parallel development; literary modernism between the two world wars; and/or the post-World War II period, with the creation of Latin American “boom” literatures in the 1950s and the 1960s. The point of the course is not simply to compare and contrast each of these literatures in order to mark the similarities between them, but rather to determine why these literary traditions should be examined together in the first place. Critical approaches developed in the course will highlight questions of interpretation, literary history, and translation.
