Section Info:
Most literary historians like to claim their period as a turning point, but scholars of the seventeenth-century have an edge: in 1649, the British took the unprecedented step of trying their king for treason and beheading him. In this course, we will explore the artistic and intellectual questioning that characterizes seventeenth-century poetry and prose. We will combine study of some of the major poets and prose writers of the time, such as John Donne, Robert Herrick, and Andrew Marvell, with analysis of lesser-known writers such as Mary Wroth, Gerrard Winstanely and Anna Trapnel. Early in the course, we will establish some of the traditional ideas about genre and gender, sexuality and the desiring body, religious identity and political form. We will then watch as these mutate in the context of revolutionary debate.
