Beschreibung: The 19th century marks an essential and formative period in U.S.-American political, social and cultural history. Living through what could be called both a belated and an accelerated process of urbanization, industrialization and modernization, Americans responded to the particular challenge of the 'coming of age' of their nation with creating some of the most powerful myths and narratives of cultural self-definition and empowerment. The lecture series will take a close look at some of the major texts and contexts between the age of Romanticism and the emergence of Modernism (1800-1900).
