English 210 is a survey or overview of some of the more significant texts produced in Britain from the Middle Ages through the eighteenth century. During our semester together, we will read, analyze, and discuss a variety of texts (both canonical and non-canonical) in order to sketch out a basic understanding of some of the key authors, texts, trends, and historical and cultural contexts that have shaped British literature.<\/p>\n

The class will be organized around the various movements within early British literary history so we can attempt to understand the historical shifts and cultural conditions that surround the works of literature that we will read.\u00a0 Some of the authors and texts we’ll be reading include Beowulf,<\/em> Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, <\/em>Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, <\/em>Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, <\/em>Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, <\/em>John Milton’s Paradise Lost, <\/em>Aphra Behn’s Oronoko, <\/em>Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.<\/em><\/p>\n
