British Lit. & Culture II

British Literature and Culture II (1700-Present): Home and Away
This course introduces the extraordinary diversity and complexity of British literature from 1700 to the present. We will read seminal works of poetry, fiction, and drama from this period, focusing our attention on key issues such as national identity, stylistic revolution, canon formation, sexual politics, and the representation of cultural otherness. We will trace changes and continuity in this rich literary tradition and discuss literature's relation to key social and historical developments. Writers to be studied include Swift, Austen, the Romantic poets, the Brontës, Tennyson, Browning, Wilde, Yeats, Eliot, Woolf, Roy and Stoppard. For majors and non-majors. 3 hrs. lect.
