ENGL 212(F) British Literature: Restoration Through the Romantics
Taking advantage of a relatively quick movement through many representative texts, this survey will follow the development of several important strands in English literature from 1660 to 1830. The course will include many major and some minor figures-and both poetry and prose-with the aim of drawing connections. We will work to understand the growth and transformation of English-speaking culture in this watershed period, when many features of the modern world appear.
Format: seminar. Requirements: class attendance and participation, weekly short writing assignments, two 6- to 7-page papers, and a final 24-hour exam.
Prerequisite: a 100-level English course, except 150. Enrollment limit: 25 (expected: 25).
