EN 327 The discovery of Adulthood in British and American Fiction

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

Prerequisite: Junior standing or above.
