Seduction, betrayal, adventure, moral outrage, mystery,
romance: these are the narrative engines of America's most popular texts.
In this course -- a literary and historical survey of American best sellers
-- we will seek to understand not just which texts have been popular but
why, paying close attention to both their aesthetic qualities and their
cultural contexts. What can our reading of these works today tell
us about the societies that produced and then, by the millions, consumed
them?
