Nineteenth Century American Short Fiction

This course will explore the short fictions of the major American writers of the nineteenth century, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Sui Sin Far, Abraham Cahan, George Cable Washington, Kate Chopin, and Sarah Orne Jewett. The selection of texts will range from Romanticism and the Gothic to Realism, from regionalism to immigrant and African American experience, from Naturalism to the “International Theme”.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the variety of 19th century American short fiction and to enable students to analyze texts from a variety of theoretical perspectives.
PLUS! means that this course will offer students additional room for questions, discussions and explorations. The course is designed as a blended learning course which means that it combines the conventional ‘f2f’ (or face-to-face) course format with an online format. We will meet every two weeks for three units (that is two SWS PLUS! one more optional SWS), and between the face-to-face sessions the course’s online format will guide you through the syllabus with reading and study assignments and with discussion forums – anytime, anywhere, at your own individual pace.
