Description:

Participants in this course will read, discuss, and write about American literature from the 17th century to the present day. The focus of the course will be on literature as a form of rhetoric, that is, how literature contributes to the debate of key issues in American life. Writing assignments will invite students to explore the methods used by texts to persuade readers to accept a point of view and the ways in which texts connect to one another to create a national “conversation.”(Fall) Knoles/ Three credits
