ENGL 222H - American Literature: Post Civil War to the Present - Honors (3,0) 3 Credits
General Education Course: Humanities-English Literature
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 111 - English Composition I and a minimum GPA of 3.5 or permission of the instructor.
Like the regular section of the course, American Literature: Post Civil War to the Present Honors begins with the writers of the late 19th century and ends with contemporary literature. Students study contemporary American issues as they read about social rebellion and social conformity, about the dilemmas that women have faced and those that men have experienced, about the struggles of African Americans against racism, and about changes over the last century in private relationships and the family. In contrast to the regular section of the course, Honors students construct their own cross-disciplinary research projects drawing on a variety of texts including, but not limited to, literature, the print media, music, art, architecture, and film.
