Section Info: ENGL 209 is restricted to English majors. This course covers British literature from 0 to 1798. Rather than aiming for coverage, we will read closely a limited set of representative works from different genres from the eighth to the late eighteenth century, including lyric poetry, drama, satire, polemical prose, and amatory fiction. Expect to encounter such writers as Unknown, Marie de France, and Geoffrey Chaucer; Shakespeare, John Donne, and Andrew Marvell; and William Wycherley, Jonathan Swift, and Eliza Haywood. Expect to visit, so to speak, the preaching cross near Solway firth, in what once was Northumbria; the city of York on the feast of Corpus Christi; the perilous court of King Henry VIII; the Globe theater of Shakespeare and his Chamberlain?s Men; and the dressing room of an eighteenth-century lady. We open with one of the earliest poems in the Old English corpus, the Dream of the Rood. And finally, since according to Coleridge?s own notes the poem came to him in a dream-vision in 1797, we close with Kubla Khan. The method of instruction is lecture, with smaller groups meeting in discussion sections once a week under the guidance of a teaching assistant. The course texts include an anthology in multiple volumes (Longman Volumes 1A, B, and C); supplementary materials on the course website; and the Folger edition of Much Ado About Nothing. Your evaluation will be based upon two papers, a midterm, a final, and additional assignments and reading quizzes designed to encourage your participation in section. Diligent attendance at lecture and in section is necessary to pass this course. Restriction(s): Restricted to English major(s) or minor(s).
