This module serves as a practical application of the concepts learned in the lectures on literary movements in American literature. It aims to deepen students’ understanding by engaging them in the analysis of short stories and poems representative of various literary periods. In addition to analyzing individual texts, students will explore the historical, cultural, and social contexts that shaped the development of each literary movement. By considering the broader socio-political backdrop, they will gain a deeper appreciation of how literature reflects and responds to societal changes over time. Through collaborative discussions and written reflections, students will engage critically with their peers’ interpretations and perspectives. This exchange of ideas will foster a dynamic learning environment where students can challenge assumptions, refine their arguments, and broaden their understanding of American literary history.
