Course description:

This course spans what has been traditionally divided into three periods of American history -- the “Colonial,” the “Revolutionary,” and the “Early Republic” -- and situates them in the context of new conceptual frameworks of the “Atlantic world” and “the global.” After briefly examining the changing history of Early American history writing, the course readings will focus on recent historiography, within more comprehensive bibliographical coverage. The three main themes for this course will be: the “geographic turn,” race, and intimacy and power. Treating Early American history both as an energetic field of historical inquiry, and as a substantive history to be taught to undergraduates, this course aims to help prepare graduate students both for qualifying exams and for teaching.

Course requirements:

CLASS PARTICIPATION. Because this course is an intensive seminar, its success depends on your regular attendance and your active participation. You are required to submit a written response to each week's readings, always mindful that you are reading for argument, not content.

READING ASSIGNMENTS. Weekly reading will involve mostly recent and some canonical monographs and syntheses of Early American history, some important articles, and some supplementary book reviews. There are several course books to be purchased (as listed below). All of the books are on reserve in the Wells Library. In the case of book excerpts and some articles and book reviews, pdf files will be available on this course website. Other articles and book reviews will be available online.

WRITING ASSIGNMENTS. There will be weekly response papers (1-2 single-spaced pages), one short book review (500 words) in the manner of the Journal of American History, and one long book review (1600 words) in the manner of Reviews in American History. You will be evaluated based on your participation in discussion, your weekly response papers, and the two book reviews.

ASSISTANCE. If at any time during the semester you have questions about the course website, reading material, writing assignments, or your performance in this class, please feel free to speak to me before or after class, during office hours, via email, or via telephone to make an appointment.
