Arts and Literature

【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
Southern literature is perhaps the best-known regional literature of the United States, featuring voices, genres, and motifs specific to its distinct tradition. But it is far from a monolith, and the literature of the south reflects the diverse cultures, peoples, and languages of the region. Southern literature has often given a sharp focus to social, historical, and cultural issues of the United States, serving as a grim counterpoint to more optimistic national mythmaking. This course will focus on southern literature in the twentieth century, exploring how writers respond to questions of war, race, memory, class, and modernization.

【到達目標 / Goal】
Students will examine the historical context and major themes of southern literature. Students will also develop critical reading and writing skills.
