Right wing lit professor, AMA.
what literature do you teach?
American literature and some introductory grammar courses
What books are included on your syllabi?
>American
>literature
Um, no.
Walt Whitman is one of the most influential poets of all time, and Moby-Dick one of the greatest novels ever written
The Scarlet Letter
Moby Dick
Black Boy
The Human Stain
The crying lot
And some miscellaneous bits of poetry, letters, documents, etc
I'm sorry you feel that way. American literature is very well done in my opinion, but of course I'm biased
>Black Boy
