Its not surprising, then, that many of our literary heroes have been travelers (think of Ishmael, Huck Finn, the Joads). English 255 will explore the theme of the journey, including ideas about departure, migration, adventure, exploration, settlement, and the need of the American mind and body to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest. We will pay close attention to how the literature reflects or challenges American ideologies of national identity and mission, social class, race, and gender.
