Topics include: Indian Removal, transcendentalism, the importance of Moby-Dick, debates on slavery and national expansion, sentimentalism and the abolitionist imagination, proslavery philosophies, the slave narrative, and other issues. The lecture course serves as "Grundlagenveranstaltung" of Culture-Module C in the M.A. program. Registration: via Blackboard before the first session.
