ENGL 073 - (LT) American Killers, American Saints

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course will explore the social uses of violence – its beauty and terror, its senselessness and serious purpose – by examining great American texts. Texts will range widely from the 17th to the 20th centuries, in search of the mysterious process that renders even the greatest villains emblems of national resolve and exposes the ruthlessness of our most esteemed figures. Readings may include works by Mary Rowlandson, Frederick Douglass, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway, Black Elk, and Truman Capote.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
