American Author,American Auteur
ENGL6948
This unit will study continuities in American film and literature through intensive analysis of representative novelists and filmmakers. We will be considering the question of aesthetic authority in relation to literature and cinema, the creative role of the author and the auteur in the production of the literary or cinematic work of art, and the role of literature and film in cultural self-reflection, especially in relation to two enduring themes of American self-consciousness, the quest and original sin.
