ENGL 362: British Survey 2
Fall, 2006; MWF 1:30 p.m. - 2:20 p.m.
Course Description:
A survey of representative British authors since the late 17th century. We will consider their works in terms of form and the historical context of their cultural production, exploring the often contested relationship between life and art. Our goal is two-fold: familiarity with a canon of British literature and further practice in literary analysis and interpretation. Success in this course depends upon careful reading and participation in our discussions.
