ENGL 051. Mariners, Renegades, and Castaways: Early American LiteratureThis course examines American literature from its earliest recorded oral traditions to the Civil War by focusing on outsiders, or what Trinidadian critic C.L.R. James, writing about Moby-Dick, called "mariners, renegades, and castaways." Our readings will include not only Melville's once neglected, now famous novel, but also a wide range of less familiar texts, including origin stories, captivity narratives, poetry, and manifestoes. 18th/19th c.
