    Description
    ENGL-C1000H Surveys the literature written in the British Isles from the Anglo-Saxon conquest (approximately year 450 of the Common Era) to the last quarter of the 18th century. Students will sample a range of literature and literary styles that span from Old English epic poetry to retellings of Arthurian myth to the early form of the English novel, allowing them to analyze the development of various literary styles written in English, including how important historical contexts, cultural shifts, and evolutions intersect with the motivations and passions of authors in each era. This course is appropriate for students new to studying literature as well as those developing more in-depth skills.
