ENG 329 - Topics in the Renaissance - English Reformation Drama and Poetry

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

The Protestant Reformation drastically altered the shape of daily life and religious practice in England during the 16th century. In this course we will look carefully at English poems and plays in order to explore how such literary works shaped the character of devotional life during the English Reformation. Taking key theological concepts as points of departure--predestination, providence, faith, justification, the organization of the church, the life of Christ, and the relationship between church and state--we will investigate how literary works instruct readers and how they test the limits of religious tenets and institutions.
