HIST 610 The Literature of 19th Century American History
Taught as schedule allows (consult the Course Directory)
This course offers a graduate level introduction to the literature of nineteenth century U.S. history. It uses a reading list of recently published and classic texts to help students map the critical questions and debates that have shaped the field. The list is also designed to represent key methodological developments, including in gender and transnational histories. The course proceeds as a reading seminar. It meets weekly. The standard writing requirement is a book review and a historiographical paper on a topic of the student's choosing. Students are also welcome to write their second-year research paper in conjunction with the seminar.
