Transatlantic Crossroads in Modern Literature.

Catalog description

In this course, we will examine global movements that created in earlier times significant cultural upheaval as peoples and their literatures moved across the transatlantic from regions as diverse as the Caribbean, Africa, North America, and Great Britain. We will analyze the intersections between assorted writers from these varied regions and England, and we will focus on the ways in which these narratives and people influenced international culture, political environs, and history. We will also look at how certain Christian writers made the most of these crossings and maintained their distinctive witness in new cultural surroundings.
