ENGL 344 - Representing the Old World and the New

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

How did encounters with the indigenous cultures of the Americas shape the literary, religious, scientific, and political imaginations of European writers This course will focus in particular on the works of early modern English writers from More to Behn; English works will also be juxtaposed against selected Incan, Aztec, Spanish, and French texts (read in translation) that illuminate the broader contexts within which writers were shaping a distinctly English imagination of the nature and significance of colonial conquest. This course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written before 1800 or a course emphasizing cultural context.
