- Contents
- Beginning with early texts that address issues of pedagogy and self-improvement, such as the New England Primer and Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography, we will trace how discourses of individual development, learning, and techniques of (self-)improvement evolve historically. For 20th and 21st century we will focus on the genre of the campus novel to discuss how discourses of individualism and issues of class, gender, and race intersect in the changing social microcosm of college life and the academe.
