ENG2200 British Literature I

This course is parallel to ENG2000, Early American Literature. It provides a survey of British Literature from the Old English to the Romantic periods, roughly 700 to 1789 AD. Students will read, discuss, and analyze poetry, plays and fiction by canonical authors, including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and Austen. The course will emphasize the development of the British literary tradition, with a particular focus on situating texts in their historical and cultural context, but students will also be supported in the development of close reading and analytical skills.
