Outline (in English)

This class is a seminar on American fiction. The course begins with a reading of Leslie Fiedler's Love and Death in the American Novel, framing the questions of what the novel is and what the novel does, as well as what is “American” in the American novel. Through the close reading of some of major works of American literary naturalism, students develop their skills to analyze literary texts in a critical way with focus both on their individuality and historicity. Most classes consist of presentations by students, class discussions, and lectures.

Grades will be determined based on the following:
1) Participation and discussion (30%)
2) Presentations (30%)
2) Final paper (40%)
