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 fulfills both the Historical Perspectives and the Early American Literature requirements in the English major, the Historical Perspectives requirement for English with a Creative Writing Emphasis students, a literature course for English with a Professional Writing Emphasis students, and a requirement for students in the English with a Secondary Education major. It also satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement. Prerequisites: ENGL 121, 190, or ENGL 201-204.
