Section Info: The purpose of this course is to introduce you to “early” American literature and to give you some basic cultural literacy about terms, ideas, and events from this period. We will do this by thinking broadly about “American culture” from some of its earliest iterations up until the crackup called the Civil War. By looking at a variety of visual and verbal texts—from paintings, engravings, and maps to slave narratives, novels, poems, autobiographies, essays, and pamphlets—we will try to get to know American culture both through its parts (its poems, essays, and stories) and through our own cohesive reconstruction of these parts into an integrated whole—a story, which we will call, in our class, “American Literature, Part I.” This will thus be a course that will not just introduce you to the basic facts of American cultural history but challenge you to theorize the practice of “literary history”—a particularly powerful form of storytelling that we practice in English departments. To what end, you ask? Take English 255 and find out.
