About this course
This one-semester survey introduces students to important writers, themes, and forms of American literary expression from the age of exploration to the present. Both close textual analysis and attention to historical context will be emphasized. By reading diverse texts from the colonial to the postmodern period, students will learn how tensions within the dominant culture and between the dominant culture and marginalized populations have shaped American identity and literature.
