ENG 374
Anne Frank: Adolescent Self

Students will closely read the definitive version of Anne Frank's Diary and examine its lasting impact with critical lenses. Looking backward and forward, they will explore the historical context of the diary and the implications of its future study in the classroom. This course will prompt students to evaluate the merit of Anne Frank's legendary and iconic status. The readings should elicit informed oral and written responses on the following questions: How has Anne Frank come to represent the lost potential of the murdered children of her generation? How does she provide for us an intimate account of female adolescent development? How does Anne Frank offer us a unique profile of an emerging writer that can serve as a model to other adolescents?
