In this era of shifting geopolitical boundaries, numerous books and
articles question what "American" literature is, what "the
literary" is, and how what is called early American literature can
best be taught. This fifteenth volume of the MLA series Options for
Teaching examines these issues and offers approaches and methods to
help teachers and their students reconceptualize early American
literatures as a complex body of multifaceted works rather than as
merely an offshoot of British culture or a putatively American
past. Part 1 consists of both multidisciplinary approaches and more
narrowly framed investigations. Some essays discuss the rewards of
teaching early American materials from groups not considered
dominant-Native Americans, African Americans, women, French and
Spanish colonials. Others treat English and Anglo-American
writings, including those of the Puritans, the Federalists and
Anti-Federalists, and American Enlightenment thinkers. Four essays
on genre studies focus on early poetry, fiction, drama,
autobiography, and captivity narratives. In part 2, five teachers
describe courses they have taught and give detailed syllabi.
Completing the book is a bibliographic essay that reviews existing
literature in the areas covered and provides a quick survey of
secondary materials. Designed for teachers at the undergraduate and
graduate levels, Teaching the Literatures of Early America shows
the rigorous, invigorating, and innovative ways in which scholars
and teachers have been addressing the richness and variety of early
materials.
