Description:

We look at important works of fiction, essay, poetry and memoir that, written one hundred to two hundred years following the Declaration of Independence, are exciting and vital to this day. We investigate the ways they reveal and define a particular American experience and character in history, literature and poetics. They are treated, not as static texts, but as enduring social and cultural signposts. Readings include works by Edgar Allen Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Phyllis Wheatley, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, as well as enduring Native American texts. Response papers and a final research paper required.
