Spring Select(s) – Early American Lit & Modern American Lit

Two courses offered in Spring semester and delivered via online offer students page-turning literature and insight into the progression of American thought.

Early American Literature (ENGL 2110) introduces students to the works of authors from the Colonial period through the Civil War.  The course includes studies of Native Americans authors, and the writings of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. The course further delves into the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Walt Whitman (to 1865) among others.  The Norton Anthology of American Literature is the textbook for the course and is available at Follett Bookstore.

Several sections of Modern American Literature (ENGL 2120) are open now. All course sections will be taught online this Spring semester. Modern American Literature studies the works from the post-Civil War period to the present day. Students read authors such as Walt Whitman (post-Civil War), Emily Dickinson, Stephen Crane, Robert Frost, Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Flannery O’Connor, Alice Walker, and others.  The Norton Anthology of American Literature, 9th edition, is the textbook for the course and is also available at Follett Bookstore.
