ENGL 2150 — American Literature: Beginnings to 1865
American literature is a window into our past that teaches us about the foundations for beliefs, problems, and triumphs that persist to the present day. Focusing on four main literary genres—fiction, poetry, drama, and literary nonfiction—students explore authors from America’s beginnings to the Civil War. We study what these authors' works meant to readers at the time and also analyze how they reflect core aspects of the American experience.
