The Heath Anthology of American Literature , vol 2, Paul Lauter, Gen Ed. This is a survey of literature produced on the American continent between the period of Reconstruction and the present. In deference to the organization of material in the Heath anthologies, and especially to those students who are taking English 218 and 219 consecutively this year, our readings will begin some 20 years before the date prescribed in the NEIU catalog.
Attendance is mandatory.
Exam questions will be based not only on the texts, but also on class discussion. B. Class Participation. During the first week of class, I will be handing out applications for accounts on the Internet, which will allow you to send and receive messages by computer on campus, or, if you own your own computer with a modem, at home. I have set up for this course. Although I will be monitoring messages addressed to the listserv, the purpose of this is to encourage more dialogue between students on the issues discussed in our course.
