ENGL258G: American Literature, Origins through the Civil War

American Literature, Origins through Civil War surveys the works of American literature from its Pre-Colonial influences through the Civil War, emphasizing themes that have contributed to the development of an American consciousness. By reading closely and analyzing critically, students explore these works from various literary periods and movements in relation to their cultural, social, historical, political, and aesthetic contexts. Effective Fall 2024: this is a CCSNH Access course and will display on transcripts, count as credits attempted, and count towards the cumulative grade point average for all seven colleges: Great Bay, Lakes Region, Manchester, Nashua, NHTI, River Valley, and White Mountains. Students cannot receive credit for more than one of the CCSNH Access courses or equivalents and the most recent course on the college transcript will be used in the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) calculation. For graduation residency purposes, only Access courses owned by the campus where the student is matriculated will be used to meet the requirements.
