Description
This course is a survey of British and American literature from the late-seventeenth through the mid-nineteenth century. We will look at how literary genres evolve alongside new forms of knowledge, understanding, and experience, with particular attention to the changing place of literature in the social lives of its readers. We especially will consider the literary responses to an "age of revolution" on both sides of the Atlantic.
