Michael
Householder studies Early American literature, in particular
narratives about the intercultural encounters between Europeans
and Native Americans in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. Some of the issues he explores include cultural
hybridity, captivity narratives, gender identity, literature as
history, and the rise of the novel. He has also taught courses
on transatlantic literature, literature of the American
revolution, slave narratives, and literary theory. He is
in the process of completing his first book, Narratives of
Encounter: Inventions of Americans. |
