Discuss and compare how we see the idea of “spiritual awakening” portrayed in the specific primary texts included in our course materials
• Discuss and compare how we see the idea of “spiritual awakening” portrayed in the specific primary texts included in our course materials by Phillis Wheatley, Jonathan Edwards, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. What contextual factors led to this awakening, and what did it mean for those who experienced it? What elements of a “spiritual awakening” do these authors/texts share in common, and how/why do other elements differ? How is their depiction of spiritual awakening significant to our study of American literature? Be specific with your evidence and your insight.
