This survey course is a stand-alone course which need not be taken after American Literature I, covering the pre-Colonial period through the post-Civil War era. American Literature II presents a series of literary works by American writers that reflects the attitudes and identity of our national literature and culture from the post-Civil War era to the present. By grappling with the ideas and characterizations presented in each assigned literary work, the student develops meaningful insights into the attitudes and human conditions that have influenced and are still influencing America's national literary identity.
