ENG-201

Early British Literature

The first of a two-part survey of English-language literature written in and around what is now known as the United Kingdom. This course examines texts from ca 800-1785, paying close, critical attention to inherited literary traditions and the ways writing informs identity and vice versa. Approaching the traditional canon with an eye toward representational equity, inclusion, and social justice, students will consider questions of power, privilege, oppression, and opportunity as they read texts written in a region where multiple entities have struggled for control. Possible texts include Headley's 21st century translation of Beowulf, Shakespeare?s Othello and its adaptations, Behn?s abolitionist novel Oroonoko, feminist utopias, early travel and medical literature, Swift?s social satire, and Hogarth?s illustrated class commentaries.

Prerequisites
