Literature in English to the 18th Century
Term 2
TTh, 12:30 – 2:00 p.m.
In this course we will examine major literary works from the 14th to the 17th century, with a focus on how changes in literary form reflect an increasingly human-centred view of natural order. In discussions and lectures we will examine work by Chaucer, Marlowe, and Shakespeare as well as a number of anonymous writers. The historical organization of the material will enable students to gain insight into both the development of literary style and the relationship of each work to its period.
