Description
This course addresses the history of British literature from 1660 through the Restoration, Eighteenth-Century, Romantic, and Victorian periods to the beginning of the 20th century. The course may comprise an overall survey and/or exploration of significant literary and cultural moments, movements or topics across the time frame. While British literature is the focus, there may also be consideration of transnational and transcultural issues such as trans-Atlantic literatures. Readings in poetry, drama, fiction, and other prose from each literary period demonstrate changing views about the production, reception, and role of literature in society.
