Credits: (3)
This historical survey follows waves of European immigration and chronicles the effects of those on the American natives. The class then moves through the Revolutionary War and finishes with the relatively short but intense age of American Romanticism, which occurred in the decades just before the Civil War. The diverse writers in this period include such figures as Columbus, William Bradford, Anne Bradstreet, Benjamin Franklin, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry David Thoreau, Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman.
