10 studiepoeng | Mål
Kurs med fokus på spesifikke perioder og/eller bevegelser i engelskpråklig litteratur. | Innhold
This course is a survey of American literature from 1840-1890 and is designed to provide insight into the cultural construction of "America" and of the social and historical construction of identity from the perspective of various writers. We will consider gendered identities, class and racial identities, as well as the processes of self-creation in a number of texts of American literature. The course will also focus on different narrative strategies in the development of the short story and the novel during this period. The goal of the course is for students to learn to identify and explain narrative structures, figurative language, and different modes of literary discourse. | Undervisning
The course will meet for three hours each week. Teaching will begin in Week 3 of 2004 and continue for 12-13 weeks thereafter. We will take two weeks for reading and essay preparation in weeks 10 and 11 of the semester.
The course is organized around lecture, discussion, and composition instruction. | Vurdering

Grades will be calculated on the basis of two short papers written during the term (4-6 pages), each counting 25 per cent of the final grade. Essay One will be due Week 7 of the calendar (13.2.2004) and Essay Two will be due Week 12 of the calendar (15.3.2004).
