ENG 291 - Literature of the Harlem Renaissance


Addresses the momentous development of African American literary culture from roughly 1920 to 1935. This course explores the antecedent cultural forces of 19th century Americas as well as the modernistic discourse of early 20th century America in order to contextualize and appraise the major and minor figures of the Harlem Renaissance. This course will also examine those little known Harlem Renaissance women writers whose publications have remained largely forgotten. For undergraduate English majors, this course satisfies the Period (C-3) requirement.
