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 English took the unprecedented step of trying their king for treason and then beheading him. In this course we will explore the artistic and intellectual questioning that characterizes seventeenth-century poetry and prose between roughly 1603 and 1668. Focusing on some of the major writers of the time, we will analyze traditional ideas about religion, politics, gender, and genre as they occur early in the century, and then watch as they mutate in a turbulent context of civil war, regicide, and literary experiment. Authors will include John Donne, Rachel Speght, Andrew Marvell, Robert Herrick, Gerald Winstanley, John Milton, and Aphra Behn.
