[edit] Description from course catalog
- This course surveys English literary history from the 12th-century to the 17th. As we explore early romances, epics, poems, and plays, we will be particularly interested in how genres change across what we now consider a major period boundary. What happens to textual representation under the pressure of dramatic historical shifts? How does literary entertainment reflect the differences between “pre-modern” and “early modern” culture? Why do we think in terms of "periods" anyway? Authors will include Marie de France, Chaucer, Malory, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, and Milton. Nature of Text. British, Pre-1700.
