Description
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.Maximum Enrollment: 25
