		Instead of offering dry moral instruction, children's literature after Alice made these lessons playful and exciting: To be moral was not to sit about the house with hands-folded piety put rather to gad about the sea, the Empire, and secret gardens with what we now would call childlike abandon.

	Bibliographies
		Most Native American literature of the period was oral and communal: myths, songs, chants, legends, speeches etc. Much of this material was lost as tribes were decimated by wars and disease, scattered before white settlements, and acculturated.
		Some of the material was recorded in English, but problems of textual authenticity remain because those who recorded the material were usually white Christians who, when they did not have their own political-social agenda that influenced their selection and translation of items, had a limited understanding of the cultures that produced them.
		Most literature of the period consisted of newspaper articles and corridos and other folk materials that did not appear in print until later in the century.

		For example, you might explain how what you learned about human behavior in the literature we studied will help you as an employee or a parent, how you plan to use your research and communication skills in graduate school, or how some of the characters and themes you encountered changed your outlook on the world.

		This year the course will focus on the extraordinary burst of literary creativity that coincided with the emergence of a recognizably modern American culture--a culture whose key questions of meaning and value remain pressingly our own.

		Though this was a post-revolutionary generation of writers, their great theme remained " liberty"--but their target was not British control but the subtler entrapments of orthodox thinking, constricted vision, a self-poisoning psyche, and a repressive or unjust social life.
