Teaching the Early English Survey

Catalog description

This course provides graduate students an opportunity to consider how a survey course in early English literature c. 700 to c. 1700 might be created, taught, scrutinized, and critiqued. The class will use the ENGL 2010 undergraduate survey as a basis for graduate students' further weekly discussions of the principles and challenges of literary history across this long and much-ruptured span. Students will write papers, offer presentations, and discuss readings focusing on questions of this span's literary history and of teaching it.
