Cíle předmětu
This survey course examines American literature from the colonial times to the end of the nineteenth century. We will explore the major writers and literary movements (romanticism, realism, regionalism, naturalism) as well as some of the lesser known authors and works of the period.
This course encourages students to think about the texts and discuss them in the class. The discussions will focus on the cultural and historical contexts from which the texts arise.
At the end of this course, students should be able to discuss the effects European colonization had on Native American populations in North America; explain the basic theological principles of the Quaker and Puritan faiths; understand the role of literature in both shaping and reflecting political reform movements; explain the relationship between eighteenth-century Enlightenment ideals and nineteenth-century Romanticism; understand the basic tenets of realism, regionalism and naturalism.
