- Course Catalog Description:
- This writing-intensive course will survey the Anglophone literature of what would become the United States from the arrival of English settlers to the Civil War. We will define "literature" broadly to not only include fiction and poetry but also the sermon, the letter, the essay, the autobiography, and other non-fictional forms. Course topics will include the Puritan theology that cast such a long shadow over the American cultural imagination; the fraught literary construction in the Revolutionary era of a national identity under the influence of such Enlightenment ideals as reason, civility, cosmopolitanism, and sympathy; the Gothic doubts about democracy that attended the literature of the early republic; the rise in the mid-nineteenth century of a radical intellectual and social movement in Transcendentalism; the antebellum ideological struggles over such political issues as slavery, industrialism, women's rights, and Native American rights; and the self-conscious cultivation of a national literary aesthetic in the Romantic prose and poetry of the period later critics would come (controversially) to call "the American Renaissance."

We will define "literature" broadly to not only include fiction and poetry but also the sermon, the letter, the essay, the autobiography, and other non-fictional forms. Course topics will include the Puritan theology that cast such a long shadow over the American cultural imagination; the fraught literary construction in the Revolutionary era of a national identity under the influence of such Enlightenment ideals as reason, civility, cosmopolitanism, and sympathy; the Gothic doubts about democracy that attended the literature of the early republic; the rise in the mid-nineteenth century of a radical intellectual and social movement in Transcendentalism; the antebellum ideological struggles over such political issues as slavery, industrialism, women's rights, and Native American rights; and the self-conscious cultivation of a national literary aesthetic in the Romantic prose and poetry of the period later critics would come (controversially) to call "the American Renaissance."

- Class Description:
This survey course will cover important historical, political, and literary works from the first contact between America and Europe to the escalation of political tension that would become the American Civil War, roughly 1850. Important themes for these readings will be the development of a concept of a uniquely "American" culture and society (as distinct from European culture and society), the changing definition of authorship, what it means to live a public, democratic life, the expansion of political boundaries, the space of America, and the ever present problem of American slavery.

- Class Notes:
- Our course will meet both in-person and online, and our fall semester schedule will depend on the risk posed by Covid-19. Since the pandemic situation continues to be unpredictable, I won't have a schedule for our meetings until late August or early September. Please know, however, that I plan to deliver course material both face-to-face and remotely, and that remote instruction will be delivered synchronously and asynchronously. Any lectures held in person will include small groups of no more than 25 students, and will be streamed live as well as recorded. The recitation sections taught by teaching assistant Shavera Seneviratne will be held online. Please know that I will update you about our schedule when I have more information to share.

- This writing-intensive course will survey the Anglophone literature of what would become the United States from the arrival of English settlers to the Civil War. We will define "literature" broadly to not only include fiction and poetry but also the sermon, the letter, the essay, the autobiography, and other non-fictional forms. Course topics will include the Puritan theology that cast such a long shadow over the American cultural imagination; the fraught literary construction in the Revolutionary era of a national identity under the influence of such Enlightenment ideals as reason, civility, cosmopolitanism, and sympathy; the Gothic doubts about democracy that attended the literature of the early republic; the rise in the mid-nineteenth century of a radical intellectual and social movement in Transcendentalism; the antebellum ideological struggles over such political issues as slavery, industrialism, women's rights, and Native American rights; and the self-conscious cultivation of a national literary aesthetic in the Romantic prose and poetry of the period later critics would come (controversially) to call "the American Renaissance."

- Course Catalog Description:
- This writing-intensive course will survey the Anglophone literature of what would become the United States from the arrival of English settlers to the Civil War. We will define "literature" broadly to not only include fiction and poetry but also the sermon, the letter, the essay, the autobiography, and other non-fictional forms. Course topics will include the Puritan theology that cast such a long shadow over the American cultural imagination; the fraught literary construction in the Revolutionary era of a national identity under the influence of such Enlightenment ideals as reason, civility, cosmopolitanism, and sympathy; the Gothic doubts about democracy that attended the literature of the early republic; the rise in the mid-nineteenth century of a radical intellectual and social movement in Transcendentalism; the antebellum ideological struggles over such political issues as slavery, industrialism, women's rights, and Native American rights; and the self-conscious cultivation of a national literary aesthetic in the Romantic prose and poetry of the period later critics would come (controversially) to call "the American Renaissance."

- Class Description:
This survey course will cover important historical, political, and literary works from the first contact between America and Europe to the escalation of political tension that would become the American Civil War, roughly 1850. Important themes for these readings will be the development of a concept of a uniquely "American" culture and society (as distinct from European culture and society), the changing definition of authorship, what it means to live a public, democratic life, the expansion of political boundaries, the space of America, and the ever present problem of American slavery.

- http://classinfo.umn.edu/?yoonx215+ENGL3005W+Summer2016
- Class Description:
This survey course will cover important historical, political, and literary works from the first contact between America and Europe to the escalation of political tension that would become the American Civil War, roughly 1850. Important themes for these readings will be the development of a concept of a uniquely "American" culture and society (as distinct from European culture and society), the changing definition of authorship, what it means to live a public, democratic life, the expansion of political boundaries, the space of America, and the ever present problem of American slavery.
Probable authors: Mary Rowlandson, Benjamin Franklin, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Frederick Douglass, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville

- Class Description:
This survey course will cover important historical, political, and literary works from the first contact between America and Europe to the escalation of political tension that would become the American Civil War, roughly 1850. Important themes for these readings will be the development of a concept of a uniquely âAmericanâ culture and society (as distinct from European culture and society), the changing definition of authorship, what it means to live a public, democratic life, the expansion of political boundaries, the space of America, and the ever present problem of American slavery. As this is a survey course, coverage of what have been considered âimportantâ texts within the academy will be stressed. This is not to say that the works should be considered as intrinsically more worthy of being studied than other possible texts; they have simply gained a certain institutional reputation over time. In addition to becoming familiar with this body of knowledge, we will be developing critical reading skills within a âliteraryâ context.

- Class Description:
- This course will survey the literature of what would become the United States from the arrival of English settlers to the Civil War. Course topics will include the Puritan theology that cast such a long shadow over the American cultural imagination; the fraught literary construction in the Revolutionary era of a national identity under the influence of such Enlightenment ideals as reason, civility, cosmopolitanism, and sympathy; the Gothic doubts about democracy that attended the literature of the early republic; the rise in the mid-nineteenth century of a radical intellectual and social movement in Transcendentalism; the antebellum ideological struggles over such political issues as slavery, industrialism, women's rights, and Native American rights; and the self-conscious cultivation of a distinctive literary aesthetic in the Romantic fiction and poetry of the period later critics would come (controversially) to call "the American Renaissance."

In a fascinating intersection between literature and history, the course examines a wide variety of texts on a range of issues, from Native American resistance to colonial nation-building, and execution sermons to romantic poetry. Our diverse readings will include personal narrative, biography, essays, letters, speeches, sermons, histories, poems, oral transcriptions, and novels. How did these dissimilar sources contribute to the formation of a national identity? Can we claim a national literature? In English 3005 we will read widely and explore answers to these questions.

- Class Description:
- English 3005 surveys American literature from first European contact to 1860. In a fascinating intersection between literature and history, the course examines a wide variety of texts on a range of issues, from Native American resistance to colonial nation-building, and execution sermons to romantic poetry. Our diverse readings will include personal narrative, biography, essays, letters, speeches, sermons, histories, poems, oral transcriptions, and novels. How did these dissimilar sources contribute to the formation of a national identity? Can we claim a national literature? In English 3005 we will read widely and explore answers to these questions.

- Class Description:
- This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. This survey course will cover important historical, political, and literary works from the first contact between America and Europe to the escalation of political tension that would become the American Civil War, roughly 1850. Important themes for these readings will be the development of a concept of a uniquely "American" culture and society (as distinct from European culture and society), the changing definition of authorship, what it means to live a public, democratic life, the expansion of political boundaries, the space of America, and the ever present problem of American slavery. As this is a survey course, coverage of what have been considered "important" texts within the academy will be stressed. This is not to say that the works should be considered as intrinsically more worthy of being studied than other possible texts, they have simply gained a certain institutional reputation over time. In addition to becoming familiar with this body of knowledge, we will be developing critical reading skills within a "literary" context.

- Class Description:
- This course investigates the beginnings of American literature, from early writing on the "discovery" of the Americas by European settlers and colonialists to the self-consciously literary art of the Puritans. We will examine early African-American writing, captivity narrative, the Gothic novel, and Native American work. Finally, in the post-Revolutionary period, we will meditate on Poe, Frederick Douglass, Emerson, Thoreau, Lydia Maria Child, Stowe, and Hawthorne. Our semester will end with an extended reading of Herman Melville's "grand hooded phantom," Moby Dick, which will serve as a final dwelling place for our questions on industry, spiritualism, race, class, gender, and the apocalyptic poetry of American literature's self-imposed mission to make something of the landscape and society it calls home.

- Class Description:
- English 3005 surveys American literature from first European contact to 1860. In a fascinating intersection between literature and history, the course examines a wide variety of texts on a range of issues, from Native American resistance to colonial nation-building, and execution sermons to romantic poetry. Our diverse readings will include personal narrative, biography, essays, letters, speeches, sermons, histories, poems, oral transcriptions, and novels. How did these dissimilar sources contribute to the formation of a national identity? Can we claim a national literature? In English 3005 we will read widely and explore answers to these questions.

- Readings in American literature from first European contact, through colonial times, to mid-19th century. Texts in several genres by diverse authors. Classics, less familiar works. Historical, social, and aesthetic contexts.
- Class Description:
- This course surveys the makings of American literature. From its beginnings in the literatures of European encounters with new world peoples, we will explore the evolution of American literature from the literatures of discovery and the early American writings of the Puritans through the American Romantics with attention to the cultural and social contexts in which all of these literatures were produced. The course includes a survey of Puritan literary forms (the Captivity Narrative, the metaphysical poetry of Bradstreet), Revolutionary and Enlightenment ideas, early African American literature, and Native American narratives, while reflecting on how these forms and ideas were revised in the post-revolutionary period by such authors as Poe, Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau, Douglass, Lydia Maria Child, Stowe, Jacobs, Melville, in light of antebellum engagements with questions of race, gender, and class.
