Section Info: This course is restricted to English majors/minors. In the last 200 years British history has avoided major political upheaval, either of the French revolutionary or the Continental fascist variety, and has come to seem a refuge of tolerance and stability. And yet over this same period Britain gave birth to the world?s first industrial revolution, grew dominant in both naval power and manufacturing capacity, managed to win two world wars, and transformed its vigorous commercial ties into a far-flung empire that still exists today in the form of the Commonwealth. British culture looks nostalgically backward, to local ties and rural values, at the same time as it embraces the modernity of post-imperial ethnic cosmopolitanism, international capitalism, and a vibrant pop culture. Our readings for this class will explore these competing tensions in British literature over the time of its rise to world power: the lyric and expansive poems of the Romantic movement (1798-1837); the high moral seriousness of the Victorians (1837-1901); the disillusioned mood of Modernism (1901-1945); and the political ferment of Postmodernism (1945 to the present). Authors will include Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Charlotte Bront�, Wilde, Yeats, Woolf, T. S. Eliot, Kureishi, and Simon Doonan. Grades will be based on participation including regular written homework, two papers, a midterm, and a final exam. Restriction(s): Restricted to English major(s) or minor(s).
