This lecture course will survey major texts from the 1840s to the 1890s,
including works by Douglass, Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman, Twain, James,
and Chopin. Among the issues we will discuss are literary treatments of
"race" from slavery to Jim Crow; shifting configurations of public and
private spheres and related shifts in representations of genre; and the
construction of an American Poetic subjectivity.
Until the quarter begins, questions about enrollment should be addressed to the undergraduate advisor. |
