Introduction
|
|
organization: mostly chronology + extra class
instructor has taught course maybe a dozen times--1st grad seminar in 1992
doctoral training and dissertation in American Renaissance
American Renaissance as 1 of 2 greatest periods in American literature
area of specialization in doctoral studies; published several articles and book on related subjects;
studying so long that easy to forget that even well-read people never heard of people I think are important
also what keep learning keeps feeling current
online texts--how to manage? (Textbook ordered has most of our texts in it, so let me know if you use it)
Last of the Mohicans -- only reading selections, frees up other texts for inclusion
esp. women's texts
By Monday, I'll email everyone a link to the webpage & a start on the presentation schedule
If you see problems, reply by email or mention in class next Thursday
