This course is meant to introduce students to an understudied period in African American literary history--the 1890s--and to two relatively understudied writers from that period--Charles Chesnutt and Pauline Hopkins.

In this course, we will learn how to interpret a work of art by considering its internal coherence, its place in the trajectory of an author's career, and its situation in the historical moment of its appearance.
