In this seminar we will explore how Americans wrote about their Civil
War as immediate event, memory, and in fiction.  We will read the
writings of soldiers, freedpeople, generals, hospital workers,
journalists, poets, and women and children at home.  We will seek to
understand how these diverse Americans nonetheless shared the
expression of certain themes of combat, nationalism, gender, faith,
and other ways of making meaning.
