Description:
This course provides an overview of the history of the literature in Great Britain since 1660. By the semester's end, you will come to understand literary works from this period in relation to their historical, social, political, and intellectual contexts. We will develop skills in reading and understanding poetry, and learn about major movements—from the neoclassicism of the “long” 18th century through Romanticism, the Victorians and modernism, concluding with some attention to the rise of anglophone literatures in former British colonies. The emphasis will be on poetry and short works of prose. This course is a good choice for sophomores or other students new to the study of English who want an overview of literary history. It is also good preparation for English Education majors planning on taking the Praxis exam.
