ENG 140 - British Literature I

What does it mean to belong? How do people inhabit spaces and negotiate identities? These questions are relevant today but were also relevant for writers in the long medieval and early modern periods in England. This course provides a foundational and historical study of English literature up to the late 17th century. We will discuss prose, poetry, and drama by such writers as Chaucer, Marie de France, Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser, Wroth, Donne, Africanus, and Behn while interrogating their cultural, political, and social contexts. While the course traditionally employs the lecture style, our sessions will often mix this format with more interactive student-led discussions, presentations, and writing workshops.

For English majors, this course may satisfy the B-1 or D-1 requirements but cannot double count. For English minors, this course satisfies the B-1 requirement.
