 * Realism as a literary movement brought an authenticity and rawness to literature that had not been precedented in American culture. This authenticity and rawness evolved Naturalist sentiment and Regionalism as a genre as well. Regionalist literature faces the challenging of reflecting both universal themes as well as themes characteristic to specific area. Through a variety of texts from different geographical and cultural regions in the United States, students will develop understanding of literature's characters, themes, and devices as a result of authors' own cultural experiences. This transcendence is applicable to the impact of differing artistic mediums as well. In an evolving and emerging era of globalization and cultural integration, comprehension of culture's influences on society and individuals is pertinent to participating in global citizenry.
