The class might focus on a specific geographic region (e.g., the American South, the Caribbean); a comparative study of regional culture (Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpa vs. Hardy’s Wessex, Hawthorne’s and Melville’s New England vs. Sedgwick’s and Jewett’s New England); or author or theme closely associated with a region (e.g., Cather’s West, Race and Religion in the South).
