  • E 344L American Literature, Film, and Culture Between the World Wars
    E 344L American Literature, Film, and Culture Between the World Wars Instructor: Kornhaber, D. Areas: Area V Unique #: 34638 Flags: n/a Semester: Fall 2010 Restrictions: n/a Cross‐lists: n/a Computer Instruction: N Prerequisites: Nine semester hours of coursework in English or rhetoric and writing. Description: From the Roaring Twenties to the Great Depression, the period in the United States between the First and Second World Wars was one of the most dynamic and turbulent of the twentieth century—as well as one of the most artistically influential. In this course, we will take a broad look at some of the major artistic figures and products of the age in the areas of literature, film, drama, and other avenues of popular culture like animation. Reading these works in light of the political and social dynamics of the era, we will investigate the various ways in which works in each medium celebrate, chronicle, and challenge both the prosperity of the immediate post‐war years and the turmoil of the depression decade that followed. Viewing them in both an artistic and a social context, we will study the rise of modernism in American literature and drama alongside and in light of the invention of a new filmic language in the pioneering use of cinematography, editing, and sound that marked the cinema of this period. Taken in total, we will aim to better understand the vibrant artistic experimentation and interchange that marked this unique epoch in American life. Major topics to be considered include the legacy of the First World War, the changing place of women, economic prosperity and economic ruin, mechanization and industrialization, political activism and ideology, and concepts of the modern.

  • Book Discussion Kits – Classic Literature All the King's Men By

The Awakening by Kate Chopin - The story of a woman, unhappy with her indifferent husband and family, who gives in to her adulterous desires regardless of Victorian religious and social pressures. The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald - Set in the heady Jazz Age of New York, "The beautiful and damned" chronicles the relationship between Anthony Patch, a Harvard-educated aspiring aesthete, and his beautiful trophy wife, Gloria, as they wait to inherit his grandfather's fortune. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - In the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity) dawns a world of tomorrow in which capitalist civilization has been reconstituted through scientific and psychological engineering, where the people are genetically designed to be passive, and useful to the ruling class. The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder - In this Pulitzer Prize winning classic, a bridge collapses in eighteenth-century Peru and five die. Who were they? And what cosmic ironies led them to their fate? Cakes and Ale by W. Somerset Maugham - The bitter, witty novel about the business of writing and London literary society between the two World Wars focuses on the lives of a famous writer and his two very different wives.

  • The Angel That Troubled the Waters and Other Plays ( %!$)
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Thornton Wilder: Collected Plays & Writings on Theater (Library of America, 2007 ), pages 54 –56 . Originally published in The Angel That Troubled the Waters and Other Plays ( %!$). Copyright © %!$ by Thornton Wilder. Renewed %"#. Reprinted by permission of the Wilder Family, LLC, c/o The Barbara Hogenson Literary Agency, Inc. All rights reserved. The Angel That Troubled the Waters THORTON WILDER The Pool.— A vast gray hall with a hole in the ceiling open to the sky. Broad stone steps lead up from the water on its four sides. The water is continuously restless and throws blue reflections upon the walls. The sick, the blind and the malformed are lying on the steps. The long stretches of silence and despair are broken from time to time when one or an other groans and turns in his rags, or raises a fretful wail or a sudden cry of exasperation at long- continued pain. A door leads out upon the porch where the atten - dants of the sick are playing at dice, waiting for the call to fling their masters into the water when the angel of healing stirs the pool. Beyond the porch there is a glimpse of the fierce sunlight and the empty streets of an oriental noonday. Suddenly the angel appears upon the top step. His face and robe shine with a color that is both silver and gold, and the wings of blue and green, tipped with rose, shimmer in the tremulous light. He walks slowly down among the shapeless sleepers and stands gazing into the water that already trembles in anticipa - tion of its virtue.
