ENG 141 - British Literature II

Taking a historical approach to British Literature from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present, this course interrogates the relationship between the shifting boundaries of Britain and the British Empire and the construction of its national literary canon. Paying special attention to the intersections of class, gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity, we will discuss how literary form evolves in concert with the nation’s sense of itself and in response to historical realities that include colonialism, the slave trade, and two world wars. Readings will vary in genre and canonicity, including novels, poems, short stories, and plays by authors ranging from famous to anonymous.

For English majors, this course satisfies the B-2 requirement. For English minors, this course satisfies the B-2 requirement.
