This episode travels back to a period of significant change. The years between the 1830s and the 1920s—a time when American literature transformed in response to a rapidly shifting society. There will be an analysis of two powerful literary movements: humourism and cosmopolitanism—each offering a lens through which authors dissected the world around them. And, at the heart of these movements stood two masters of the quill: Mark Twain and Henry James.
