ENG 280 - British Literature Special Topics
Corequisite: WTNG 100 or WTNG 102.
Requirement Fulfillment: Major, Minor, Core Concentration
This repeatable variable topics course will examine various themes, periods, and/or authors in British Literature, exploring intersections among history, literary genre, and writers from diverse identities and backgrounds within what is sometimes called the “British commonwealth.” This course seeks to expand an understanding of what constitutes British literature from the medieval period to the present. For example, students might explore a variety of British Women Writers, comparing varied voices and ideas about gender and literature. Alternatively, this course might feature two or more famous writers within a literary period (e.g., Famous British Romantic Poets). Further examples include Arthurian Literature Then and Now, Beowulf to The Dragon Prince, or Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales Past and Present, or The Victorian Fallen Woman. Course outcomes include contextualizing literary texts within historical contexts, exploring literary genre across a period of time, and connecting historical texts to issues and concerns of 21st century readers. The course, but not the topic, is repeatable for credit. The course, but not the topic, is repeatable for credit.
