ENGL 330 - Modernist Chicago: Urban Literature and Sociology


4 HU, CD, WR
Second Semester. The story goes that literature grew up in Chicago—the city that developed so rapidly in the 19th century—striving for “democratic” representation of new urban experiences and (multi-classed, immigrant, and racial) identities, culminating in a renaissance from 1900-1930. Did Chicago continue to encourage a specific strain of American modernism? We will address this question through readings in urban sociology and authors such as Dreiser, Algren, Wright, Attaway, Walker, and Brooks. American, Diversity, Post-1900.
