INQ-277 | Twentieth-Century American Films and the Novels that Inspired Them
Topic Description:
This course explores the visions of America presented through literature and film adaptations of that literature. The novels and films represent a diverse vision of American culture and mythology—from America as a frontier nation to America in the late 20th century. We will look at how the myth of the American West still pervades the culture, at the ways in which the American South creates its own milieu and wields its own influence across the continent, and at the ways in which immigrant cultures of the 20th century have further diversified an American culture which has always been formed by multicultural groups.Â
