ENG 337 - Masculinities in Late 20th Century American Literature

3 CR

Since the end of World War II, many books and articles have warned of a crisis of American masculinity. In this course, we will approach this so-called crisis by reading a variety of literary works that explore American masculinity, manhood and boyhood, through a variety of lenses including power, violence, nationalism, work, sports, race, age, class, and sexuality. (This course is cross listed with WGS 337.)
