EN 427 Discovery of Adulthood in British and American Fiction

This course will explore, through novels and short stories, the cognitive, moral, social and psychological complexities of adolescent and early adult experience. It will also deal with the literary problems involved in portraying these stages of human development. The aim both of the readings and of the class activities will be to enhance awareness of the magnitude of change implied in the term “growing up.” While the overall focus will be thematic in nature, the specific day-to-day focus will be primarily literary, although there will be some brief side-excursions into related fields, especially psychology.
