19th Century Life Writing
Lea Espinoza Garrido
Kommentar
This seminar examines the genre of life writing in 19th-century America, including autobiographies, memoirs, diaries, letters, and other life narratives. We will consider how writers used these different forms not only to fashion (them)selves but to negotiate questions of identity, authorship, and community in the context of slavery, war, gender relations, Native displacement, religious reform, and nation-building. Alongside a range of primary sources, students will engage with key scholarship in life writing studies to explore how these seemingly personal stories both reflected and shaped larger cultural, historical, and political transformations in the 19th century and its afterlives.
