LIT-3760: Representations of Adolecence in Literature

This class will engage students in a focused study of literary representations of adolescence. Though we may think of adolescence as a set developmental phase, delineating it is also a relatively modern luxury. Members of past generations and people of less privileged societies often go directly from childhood into the responsibilities of adult life. Adolescence, as we know it, is a socially constructed idea. Notions of its purpose and meaning shift with the times. Through reading, lecture, discussion, and close analysis of four novels (and some poems), we will reflect on how adult writers strive to capture the challenges, conflicts, and unique experiences of American adolescents. We will also consider how these works reflect ideas about adolescence as a social construction. In the four major works considered, we?ll look at American adolescence from the post-war period through the 1970s and 1980s up to the present.
