Novelists and artists identify issues ahead of scholars and historians. Freud said artists predated everyone by 25 years. U.S. History abounds with examples of novelists confronting human, social, emotional and economic problems before politicians and philosophers. This program explores how such novels foreshadowed later events by placing them in historical and cultural context, tracing impact and consequences. Lectures supplement and amplify the works. Unlike literary study, the novels are primary sources illuminating anticipation of important social, cultural and intellectual developments emphasizing race, class and gender issues. Individual projects enhance the collective knowledge of the class as each student contributes material on an author not on the core reading list. This course will help meet prerequisite requirements for American studies, literature and history requirements for MIT.
Credits awarded: 4 credits in American studies; 4 credits in U.S. social and intellectual history, 1850-1940; 8 credits in American literature: the novel, 1850-1940.
