ENG 165 - American Colonial Literature

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course examines writing in America before 1800 (roughly the period between the European "discovery" and the first products of an officially independent United States). We will examine the written evidence to find who the settlers were, what they expected or wanted or demanded, how they reacted to what they found, and what models of expression they developed to record their experiences. Readings will emphasize the variety of viewpoints that described America life and the terrific energy that writers brought to their tasks. We will also examine critical models of interpretation in both historical and contemporary forms. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
