- The nineteenth century in America was an age of enormous social upheaval, when nearly every aspect of life required reexamination and reinvention.

Through their works, we will encounter the terrible costs of industrialization and urbanization, the persistent inequalities between men and women, and the unimaginable horrors of slavery. This course will also serve as an opportunity to attend to the innovations in literary form, technique, and strategy that emerged during this critical time period. This course satisfies the Identity, Power, and Equity in the United States (IPE) requirement of the Core Curriculum.
