Looking at materials from the pre-Columbian era to the Civil War, this course looks at the multi-voiced and multi-ethnic literatures of early America. We will explore a wide variety of texts: archeological finds, records of travel and exploration, Native storytelling, material culture, journals of spiritual self-examination, hymn singing, painting, poetry, pamphlets, diaries, captivity narratives, revolutionary declarations, ballads, short stories, slave narratives and gothic tales. We will also identify when and how a specific stripe of U.S. literature asserted its claim to the term “American.”
