As a survey of American literature from 1900 to the present, this course is an attempt to figure out what these two large movements look like, to understand how and why the shift from modernism to postmodernism occurred, to account for the differences and similarities between them, and, in a post-9/11 present, to ask: what’s next? Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): 3 credit units Note: Students with credit for ENG 345 or ENG 347 may not take this course for credit. Category 4 course.
