Love is many things–it is an idea, a feeling, an action, a religious imperative, and a political and literary tool. This class uses love to examine the various ways that American writers both challenge and reinforce racial and gender hierarchies. Texts will include novels and poetry by white and BIPOC authors who wrote in (or in a few cases wrote about) nineteenth-century America. Roberts
