ENGL 3012 - Literature of the British North American Colonies and Early United States

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

The literature of early America is populated by characters (discoverers, explorers, early settlers, Founding Fathers, natives, and slaves) and events (the voyages of Columbus, the founding of Jamestown, the landing of the Pilgrims, the Salem witch trials, the signing of the Declaration, and the War of 1812) that have assumed a seminal and symbolic significance in the American imagination and in American history and literature. The course features many genres of literature not ordinarily subjects of study, including promotional and travel literature, sermons, memoirs, and essays, as well as the more familiar forms of the short story, poetry, and the novel. Major figures include Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Brockden Brown, and Washington Irving.
