Advanced Survey of British Literature I

Catalog description

This course examines a thousand years of British literature (800-1800) that includes a range of genres (e.g., poetry, drama, novella). The readings include literature and authors across several periods: the Medieval period, the Renaissance/Early Modern period, and the eighteenth century. Attention is paid to the historical and cultural frameworks surrounding the texts so that students learn how literature both produces and is produced by the culture in which it is situated.
