In and around 1925 was a landmark year for American fiction. The key titles of the 1920s are more than period pieces – they reflect a state of mind, art, and society that is still relevant today. The literature of this decade marked the beginning a new artisticage, as this presentation by Dr. Wolfgang Holtkamp and students of American literature from the University of Stuttgart wants to show. They will discuss modernist texts that express selfhood, consciousness, time, and urban life as major topics of the “JazzAge.”

With: Dr. Holtkamp (University of Stuttgart) and students of the American Studies Literature Department
