This first-year seminar will examine early literary responses to the conquest of the New World. Themes include the sense of wonder and curiosity catalyzed by the epochal encounters begun in 1492; the meanings of these journeys, discoveries, and conquests; ideas about the natural (were the Americas and their inhabitants paradisiacal or savage?); and the significance of the conquest for us today. It is hoped students will share the sense of awe expressed by our authors at the marvels they encountered during their various sojourns.

This course is designed to investigate the influence of the past on the present, especially as this influence affects individual identity, purpose, and fulfillment. Our focus will be on people's responses to family contemporary essays, autobiography, and fiction, and on our own examination of the past and its influence in our lives. Whenever we identify who we are, we make choices: What do we want or need to emphasize about ourselves? How will people respond to what they learn about us? Will our freedom and control (both short- and long-term) be enhanced or constrained as a result? What combination of skills, influences, insights, and effort will give us the best chance of meeting life on its own terms and making the most of it and of ourselves? This is a first-year seminar course and meets the First-Year Seminar requirement of the GECC.
