In this course we'll survey various kinds of writing in the American colonies and United States from 1492 to the turn of the 19th century. Genres of writing include letters, captivity narratives, autobiography, political writing, slave narratives, fiction, and poetry. Our focus will be three-fold: the texts themselves; practices of literacy; and the historical contexts in which these texts and practices emerged. This course satisfies the pre-1900 American Literature distribution requirement and counts as one 600-level course. This course also satisfies the early British/American requirement for the new curriculum. Prerequisite: GENG 513 or permission of the instructor.
