American Modernism refers to the cultural and literary movement taking place in the United States during the first half of the 20th century. Probably the largest amount of modernist fiction was produced during the interwar period, between World War I and World War II. With modernist writers such as Ezra Pound, T.S.Eliot, Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Nella Larsen, William Faulkner, Langston Hughes, Zora Neal Hurston, Jean Toomer, John Steinbeck (and the list could go on and on) U.S.-American literature established an aesthetic and political voice of its own. Their work maps the dialogue between individual and national discourses of identity and provides useful material for those interested in the cultural and historical complexity of the United States. Taking up a gender perspective, this seminar covers poetry and prose by several U.S.-American Modernist authors, with a focus on group discussions and close reading of the texts. Students can thus improve their literary analysis skills and obtain a Studienleistung in this seminar. Please note that this seminar will take place online!
