Monday, September 10
Today we'll look at Amelia and Theresa Strouth Gaul's essay, "Recovering Recovery: Early American Women and Legacy's Future." Gaul argues that we are in a particularly exciting moment for the study of early American writers. We'll look at why that's the case, and think about how our class might benefit from and contribute to the scholarly trends she notes.
Amelia is by the famous author Anonymous. We don't know the gender of Amelia's writer--does that make a difference? Either way, how does Amelia—and our experience of reading Amelia as part of the "Just Teach One" project—intersect with some of the trends in scholarship that Gaul explores?
See you at 4--
