AM 250D - Regional Culture: New England
A study of the growth and development of regional culture in the northeastern United
States from the eighteenth century to the present. Beginning with a consideration
of the heritage of the Puritan settlers, the course proceeds to an examination of
the Revolutionary experience, the industrial revolution, the New England Renaissance

of the region's population. It ends with a study of the literature, politics, and
economy of New England in the twentieth century.
