Subject: Historiography of the "Americas"
Greetings All:
I've been asked to teach a survey American lit course as a "Literature of
the Americas" course next year. There's a great deal of stuff (a good deal
of it quite thin, alas) that tracks the "Americas" for a lit person such as
myself but I wondered whether historians could suggest a series of
historiographic studies that lay out the "Americas" as an object of study.
My linguistic parochialism means that I can only use texts written in
English.
