Description
A survey of British and American literature from 1688 through the mid-nineteenth century. We will look at how literary genres evolve alongside new kinds of knowledge and understanding, with particular attention to the changing place of literature in the private, social, and political lives of its readers. We especially will consider literary responses to an age of revolution on both sides of the Atlantic. Authors include Defoe, Pope, Franklin, Equiano, Jefferson, Austen, M. Shelley, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Poe, Melville, and Whitman.
