In this class we will read a selection of texts from colonial North America - from American captivity narratives and jeremiads to Canadian settler narratives and missionary reports. While thematically unified, this class will particularly focus on key competences in literary and cultural studies, including Information literacy (how to access secondary literature), Reading (how to use secondary literature), Inquiry & Analysis (how to analyze literary texts), and Written and Oral Communication (how to present your discussion in the shape of a term paper or an oral exam). |
