Two American Authors of the Land: Jack London & Willa Cather
|
| ○講義概要 |
This year we will focus on two authors, Jack London in the first term and Willa Cather in the second. In the first term we will examine Jack London (born Jan. 12, 1876, died Nov. 22, 1916). He is best known for his books The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf, and a few short stories, such as “To Build a Fire” and “The White Silence.” In fact, he was a prolific writer whose fiction explored three geographies and their cultures: the Yukon, California, and the South Pacific. He experimented with many literary forms, from conventional love stories and dystopian novels to science fiction of sorts. He was among the most influential figures of his day. He left over fifty books of novels, stories, journalism, and essays, many of which have been translated and continue to be read around the world.

前期学期末試験(定期試験期間中)(20%)、小テスト等(80%)
I will take roll at the beginning of class. Attendance is required. Grades will be determined by weekly multiple choice exams that will cover the short stories and my lectures and an exam given at the end of each term during Final Exam Week.

The texts for both terms are famous classics and are available on line. It is therefore unnecessary to buy the books unless you really want to. Check my website for the URL.
