Section Info: This course is restricted to majors and will not be opened up to non-majors. This course is intended to survey more than a thousand years of British literature from the early Middle Ages through the eighteenth century. But what does "British literature" really mean? The range of languages, genres, peoples, characters, and contexts that fall under this heading is downright staggering, and part of our goal in this course will be simply to appreciate the sheer volume and breadth of written work created in the British archipelago between the eighth and eighteenth centuries. We will do this through a necessarily selective sampling of historical periods, languages, and genres. Some of the texts we read will be attached to famous names like Chaucer, Milton, and Shakespeare; others are composed by lesser-known, and even unknown, authors. In each case, however, we will work to understand how the categories of genre, language, form, and historical period have been used to construct the discipline of English literary studies. Restriction(s): Restricted to English major(s).
