Loss and Renewal: American Voices, American Identity

The course is intended to be an exploration both thematic and textual into the intriguing and evolving invention and reinvention of a national identity. Does this definition, as seen through the voices of American writers remain the same or does this definition evolve and reflect the changing face of America? Can we recognize our present sense of ourselves in the past? Or is it so different as to be unrecognizable?
