Cíle předmětu
Course goals : In the seminar, students explore both primary and secondary materials of the American literature till the end of the 19th century. In seminars, the stress is put on an analysis of the text, on student presentations, their active involvement in seminars, and home reading. Hopefully, students will learn selected topics in depth and will understand broader connotations.
