---|---|
SHAMIR, Dr | Advanced course |
The terms “Realism” and “Naturalism” are used in the context of American culture to describe the dominant literary styles of American fiction during the period between the Civil War and the beginning of the Twentieth Century. In this course we will analyze these two styles in relation to social and political changes in the US in this period: the increasing rate of democracy and literacy, industrial and urban growth, expanding population base due to immigration, Reconstruction and segregation, and changes in the role of women.
