America's Founding Writers, 1600-1800
Instructor: Dr. Bill Thierfelder

The United States have always been a rambunctious, deeply divided nation--and the writers in this course surely represent (and explore) those divisions from the Colonial period through the American Revolution. We are the land of the Salem Witch Trials and a Revolution, of Civil War and McCarthyism, of "The Greatest Generation" and Trumpism, of Red States and Blue States. This course takes us to the very beginning of all that. "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

Through PowerPoint presentations that illuminate the biographies of each author, samplings of music and art, and an examination of selected writing, this 6-session class surveys some of the principal authors of this exciting period in America’s early history.
