isms and places that are pivotal in U.S. history and cultural geography. Massachusetts, the paradigmatic "New England" colony (1620ff.) and U.S. state (since 1788), where "Puritans" planned their "City upon a Hill", where the American War of Independence started (with a farmer's shot that was "heard round the world"), where literature flourished in the first half of the 19th century into what became known as the "American Renaissance".
In the first weeks of this course we will discuss early "non-fictional" (?) texts (or text excerpts) by William Bradford, John Winthrop, and Cotton Mather - setting the stage for our analyses of "Literary Massachusetts" highlights: representative poems by Anne Bradstreet, Emily Dickinson and Robert Lowell, essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller, tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne as well as his Boston romance The Scarlet Letter, and Arthur Miller's witch-hunt drama The Crucible.
