A wide-ranging survey of American literature of all genres from the end of the Civil War until the present.

Socio-historical contexts, both of the works' production and of their current critical evaluation, will be examined, as will recurrent themes such as the struggle for social justice and the changing relationship of the United States to the rest of the world. Study of print texts is enhanced by incorporation of audio versions of texts, music, filmed dramatic performances, visual images, and/or feature films.
ENGL 324, 325, 326, 327 and 328 are the literary core for students pursuing a B.A. English degree; a minor in English: Literature Emphasis; or the B.S. Education, English Grade 5-Adult degree.
