Institution:

Saint Edward's University

Subject:

Description:

Novels appeared in America as far back as the colonial era and the eighteenth century with works by writers such as Susanna Rowson and Charles Brockden Brown. These early novels might be included in this course, but its main focus will be on the 19th century and on important figures of the American romantic period - an era in part defined by the anti-romantic dialectic of Hawthorne and Melville. Novels in this course may be considered within historical and cultural contexts, discussed in terms of characteristic themes and concerns, or analyzed through a variety of critical and philosophical frames of reference.
