	AMERICAN LITERATURE SURVEY
		You have chosen to take a literature course at an exciting time; in universities across the country, many of us in literary studies are in the process of asking ourselves what exactly we are supposed to do as critics of literature and how we engage people in our work.
		As a class, we will examine writers who are considered very important (or “canonical”) by most people, and we will try as well to look at some lesser known writers and what they have to contribute to our understanding of ourselves.
		This course is a survey of American Literature from 1492 to the present.
