Studies in Fiction: Rethinking the American Masterpiece
21L.702 · Literature · Undergraduate · Fall 2007
Dr. Wyn Kelley
What has been said of <em>Moby-Dick</em>—that it’s the greatest novel no one ever reads—could just as well be said of any number of American “classics” like <em>The Scarlet Letter, Uncle Tom’s Cabin</em>, or <em>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em>. This course reconsiders a small number of nineteenth-century American novels by presenting each in a surprising context.
