literature course in july session

This is a quick plug for a class that one of my close friends is teaching in the July session of summer school. If you need a literature course during that session, I definitely recommend taking her Major American Writers course. Here's a description of it:

Change. The idea of change functioned prominently in the recent presidential election, but Americans have been voting, working, fighting, praying, and writing for change since early colonial settlement. This Major American Writers course will explore how American literature has reacted to and revised a nation, addressing issues of nationality, race, class, gender, sexuality, and religion. We will begin at the end of the 18th century and work forward to the beginning of the 20th century, analyzing the methods and messages inherent in a time period fraught with literary and social change.

The course is English 20503.040, and the instructor is Amanda Irvin (a.irvin@tcu.edu). Please let me know if you have questions, or you can contact her directly.
