Through histories, novels, poems, film, and art this course will investigate aspects of New York's social, cultural, and political economic history during the most formative periods (arguably) of modern America: The Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. It will also familiarize students with various historiographies of New York and the United States, including those focusing on class, immigration, gender, and race. Students will learn how these historical interpretations inform, influence, and contradict each other, expanding the breadth of historical understanding in the process. |
