ENGLIT 1235 - 1950'S LITERATURE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will examine the literary culture of the United States in the1950s. Focusing primarily (though not exclusively) on fiction and poetry, we will explore the ways in which artists and critics came to terms with this country's emergence from the great depression and the second World War. While this period is habitually portrayed as one of conformity and blandness, a close study of the literature of the period shows the exact opposite to be the case.
