Where does the popular perception of America as the “New World” come from? How could slavery flourish in a land idealizing freedom? Why were immigrants so feared and reviled? Why did expansionism push out some and make millionaires of others? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings from the beginnings of the American literary tradition to the turn of the twentieth century. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as religious identity, political reform, race, slavery, war, gender, and industrialization. This course satisfies the core Literature and Writing requirement for students who started that requirement with an ENGL 201-204 class and fulfills both the Historical Perspectives and the Early American Literature requirements in the English major. Prerequisites: ENGL 201, 202, 203 or 204.
