This lecture course, which is offered every semester, is the basis for any course you will be taking in American literature. It aims to provide an overview as a framework for your future specializations. The class will introduce you to the main periods of American literature and their cultural as well as historical contexts, to about 60 of the most prominent American authors, and to a variety of individual texts. Background lectures will be complemented by discussions of passages from all major literary genres, covering more than five centuries of American literature.

A reader containing all the texts with which we will deal in this class will be available from the copy shop at Reckhammerweg 4 after the first class meeting. There will be a midterm and a final exam. First class meeting: Wednesday, October 24, 2012.
