Beskrivning
This book offers insight into the ways students enrolled in European classrooms in higher education come to understand American experience through its literary fiction, which for decades has been a key component of English department offerings and American Studies curricula across the continent and in Great Britain and Ireland. The essays provide an understanding of how post-World War II American writers, some already elevated to ‘canonical status’ and some not, are represented in European university classrooms and why they have been chosen for inclusion in coursework. The book will be of interest to scholars and teachers of American literature and American studies, and to students in American literature and American studies courses.

Recensioner i media

“Contemporary American Fiction in the European Classroom: Teaching and Texts … fills a gap in research by exploring the subject of teaching literature at university through a compilation of essays written by professors of American literature at various higher-education institutions across Europe. … This book provides a glimpse into the list of authors and works of fiction that are part of the syllabus, with each part of the book examining a different aspect of education … .” (Olga Kajtár-Pinjung, Americana - E-Journal of American Studies in Hungary, Vol. 18 (1), 2022)
