Course Catalog Description
Historical survey of literature in English: The late-17th through the mid-19th century.
Class Description
This course is an introduction to and a survey of literature in English from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth. We will discuss in lecture and in smaller sections different examples of British and American poetry, fiction, and non-fiction prose to understand the ways in which literary form could sometimes make available, sometimes obscure, and sometimes transform social and political contents in the period under consideration. We will especially consider reciprocal relations between literary and social authority in a time marked by its reforms and revolutions.
