This course will look at the culture of America in the 1920s known as the 'Jazz Age.' We will look at the emergence of what Gertrude Stein termed the 'lost generation' writers after World War I such as Ernest Hemingway, F.Scott Fitzgerald, and T.S. Eliot; the flowering of African-American literature and culture known as the 'Harlem Renaissance' with such writers as Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Countee Cullen; and the artistic contributions of such jazz legends as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Dizzy Gillespie and blues singers Bessie Smith, Josephine Baker, and Billie Holiday. This course satisfies one 3-credit elective requirement of the American Studies advanced certificate.This course was previously LIB-640629.
