HC 813 - Eyes on America: Foreign Observations of the American Scene3 credits
America has fascinated writers from other lands since before its European settlement. And Americans are often fascinated and sometimes indignant at the “image in the mirror” these foreign observations offer. This seminar explores the long literature by foreign writers on America and its people beginning with the narratives of early explorers and ending with contemporary commentary on American life and institutions. Students will examine the language, themes, and preconceptions that guide these narratives, along with their American responses.
