ENG 20300
American Literature I
This course is the first half of the basic survey in American literature (c.15th ? 19th centuries). We explore the texts from the pre-Columbian Era and Colonial beginnings to the American Civil War, and analyze literature using the contexts of society, history and culture. We will review oral, written, and folkloric texts by Indigenous, European, and African Diaspora people such as Sitting Bull, Emerson, Equiano, Tecumseh, Tubman, Hawthorne, Plato, Poe, Wheatley, and Dickinson.
