EN 341 The Slave Narrative
This course will explore the structures and literary themes present in autobiographical narratives of former slaves (African and Black American) of the 17-19th centuries, as well as the revision of these narratives in the work of contemporary writers of the African Diaspora (late 20th and 21st centuries). We will discuss the global impact of slavery and the literary methods used to address the institution. In addition to archival sources from the Library of Congress and other slave narrative projects, possible authors include Olaudah Equiano, Harriet Jacobs, Venture Smith, Toni Morrison, and Yvette Christiansë. This course may be taught in a traditional classroom format or fully online.
Prerequisite: Junior standing or above.
