ENG 590 Literature of American South
This course is a historical survey of southern literature from the Southern Renaissance to the present. Because this is a large body of material, we will focus on works that are representative of trends central to the South's literary development. The South has produced a remarkable amount of major works by writers of various backgrounds, so keep in mind that the syllabus only represents the tip of a very large iceberg. Students are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of these changes through class discussion and two major writing assignments.
