English 337A - English Renaissance Literature:The World,the Flesh,and the Devil DiPasquale

Institution:

Whitman College

Subject:

Description:

Seventeenth-century poems, plays, masques, and essays pulsate with the energies of an emerging modernity. English writers of the period employ a wide variety of genres to navigate their ever-expanding world and the smaller worlds within it; to anatomize human flesh and fleshliness; to seize upon spiritual, ethical and material good(s); and to battle a frightening array of evils. We will explore these endeavors as they are carried out in the works of such writers as Donne, Jonson, Lanyer, Herbert, Webster, Marvell, Browne, and Milton.
