LC002. American Literature I: Colonial Period to 1865 [美國文學史（一）︰殖民時期至 1865
年]
3 credits
Prof. Cecilia Liu
For Sophomores and above
Class size: 45
課程學習目標
This course surveys the development of American literature from the
seventeenth century through the Civil War. It seeks a balance among
various genres—fiction, poetry, autobiography, oratory, essay—and among
various perspectives on American life. In this semester, our discussions will
focus on close analysis of texts while lectures will introduce individual
authors and related historical issues (for example, the American
Revolution, slavery, the Civil War) and cultural movements (like
Puritanism and Transcendentalism). Serious students in this course can
expect to gain knowledge of an important body of literature, an
understanding of American culture and identity, skills in literary analysis,
and a framework for future reading. Literary analysis here will be a
process of close reading to discover: 1) the unique voice, technique, and
accomplishment of individual literary works; 2) their reflection of and
participation in broader cultural and social movements; 3) their relevance
to readers today.
