Description
In the wake of the Civil War, six crises preoccupy American fiction: nationality, cities, race, wealth and misery, technology, and gender. In this course we will explore the ways in which these areas of urgent concern intersect one another. Two seven-page essays, a final exam, and regular attendance will be required.
