Title: Introduction to English Literature: From the 14th to the 18th Century
Description: An introduction to six titans of English Lit. (Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, and Swift), to literary history as a mode of inquiry, and to the analysis of the way literature makes meaning, produces emotional experience, and shapes the way human beings think about desire, commerce, liberty, God, power, the environment, subjectivity, empire, justice, death, and science. We will study how a literary text emerges out of the author's reading of his predecessors and in relation to contemporary political, religious, social, and scientific discourses and events.
Prerequisites: First-year students welcome. ENG 205 is a prerequisite for entrance into the Department of English.
Professors: Oliver M. Arnold, Sophie G. Gee
