Grapple first-hand with The Scarlet Letter, Moby-Dick, Huckleberry Finn, The Red Badge of Courage, and a wide range of other works from colonial times down to the end of the twentieth century. Develop strategies for both close and extensive reading, as we dig into the broad vistas and the particulars of a range of American novels, drama, poetry, and shorter works. This is a demanding course aimed at developing an acquaintance with the bedrock of American letters and fostering analytical acumen on many fronts — probably the second most challenging high school literature course you can find.
