ENGL 664 - Transatlantic Approaches to Literature


3 Credit(s)

Description:
This course studies the ways in which a transatlantic approach to Anglophone writing can reshape our picture of literary history and generate new theoretical models for the study of print culture. Participants will be invited to test influential accounts of the Atlantic world by reading classic British and American texts as well as lesser-known works. The course attends to transnational concerns such as labor, commerce, epidemiology, and the environment, and to the related phenomena of colonialism, slavery, economic expansion, and missionary activity, as well as the resistance to them.
