SoSe 16: The Making of Americans: The Literary Imagination and the Working Hand
Nathalia King
Kommentar
American authors have conceived of the writer’s work in ambivalent terms: sometimes as drudgery for pay, sometimes as artisanal craft, and sometimes as a sign of the intellect’s accession to a realm of freedom and truth. In 19th and 20th century American literature, this ambivalence about the writer’s place in society is manifest in the literary text as a range of attitudes that moves from empathy with the working classes to alienation from their condition. In the exploration of five stylistically dense and idiosyncratic texts, the project of this course is to compare the material and social labor performed by the characters to the imaginative, rhetorical work done by its narrator(s).
