This survey course is a study of fiction and non-fiction works by selected American writers, including historical and theoretical foundational knowledge through the lens of gender, race, and class. Students will read, analyze, and discuss literature from the end of the Victorian Era with the rise of literary periods such as Realism and Naturalism/Regionalism depicting the changing life in America. Students will then read primary source material from American citizens who fought for the right to vote, for safe working conditions, and, finally, for Americans who wanted to see American Democracy grow across the continent. Emphasis is placed on the most significant writings of representative authors from 1865-present day America.
