ENGL2320: Eng Lit Since 1700 (48251)

Throughout the semester we will be looking at British prose, poetry, and fiction since 1700. We will be paying particular attention to the ways in which literature can both reflect and challenge the historical and cultural contexts that influence its production. As we move through the Eighteenth-Century, Romantic, Victorian, and Modern periods we will practice techniques of close textual analysis in order to explore the vast array of literary forms and techniques employed by British authors. By the end of the semester, you should have achieved a degree of expertise in reading British literature and, hopefully, you’ll continue to explore such literature after the semester ends.
