 | | This course tracks the evolution of British attitudes toward nature as revealed in literature of the "Long Eighteenth Century," beginning with Isaac Newton's scientific work and its massive impact on British culture as whole. |
 | | This course explores the long tradition of American dissent and protest through the voices of revolutionaries, abolitionists, suffragettes, reformers, socialists, protestors, communists, social critics, hippies, folksingers, and utopianists, all of whom have attempted to reshape the world through their words. |
 | | The class begins with the premise that literature intervenes actively in the construction and reconstruction of cultural life, and examines key moments in the tradition of American dissent, from the nation's founding to the late 20th C. and possibly beyond. |
