This course examines American literature as an amalgam of different voices that are rarely in harmony. American literature has never been a homogeneous movement, there were always conflicting, sometimes even irreconcilable voices that used to be ignored and silenced by the official literary canon. Since 1960s, however, literary scholars started to study those silenced voices and opened the canon to plurality of voices. The readings in this course will help you to comprehend the multi-faceted nature of American literature.The course encourages students to think about the texts and discuss them in the class. The discussions will focus on the cultural and historical contexts from which the texts arise.
