Description: This course immerses students in the most influential and engaging writings from the earlier periods of English literature. Our aim will be to enjoy and understand these writings in themselves, and then to see their relation to each other and to their larger literary and historical contexts. Students should leave the course with some real affection for particular writings, and some assured sense of the contours and highlights of literary and cultural history. Our emphasis will be on careful analysis of the language and texture of the works we study. Authors include Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Jonson, Milton, Dryden, Swift, Pope.  This course is appropriate for all students.  No requirements or prerequisites.

Description: This course samples some of the most prominent and controversial English Literature from King Alfred’s educational reform of a broken, 9th-century Wessex to Mary Wollstonecraft's 18th-century demand for the education reform of women. England endured powerful socio-political and scientific earthquakes: invasion, linguistic change, revolt, regicide, religious war, technical innovation and colonization. Spanning Anglo-Saxon and later Medieval, Renaissance, Restoration and Enlightenment eras, it gives students not only a sense of the material, philosophical and cultural changes Britain underwent in its contact with other peoples inside and outside its island, but a wide choice for more concentrated study of specific English periods and writers: Beowulf, elegiac Old-English, Middle-English Romances and Breton Lais, satiric Chaucer, the Gawain Poet, Arthurian Malory, Shakespeare’s Lear, thundering Milton, sensuous Donne, spiritual Herbert, outraged Behn, parodic Pope, Swift’s Gulliver, revolutionary Payne.
