 Eng 253: Survey of American Literature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Far from just moralizing Puritan sermons or the heady writing of later writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, the literature of early America runs the gamut of literary genres, styles, and popularity.
In this course we'll survey works ranging from the first American best-seller (Michael Wigglesworth's sensationally terrifying poem of 1662, The Day of Doom) to one of the poorest-selling books in nineteenth-century America (Henry David Thoreau's Walden).
To that end, we will occasionally interrupt a basic chronological treatment of early American literature with works from other time periods and cultures; these supplements may help us consider how this seminal body of literature has been shaped, interpreted, and re-interpreted.
