ENGL 822 - Edmund Spenser

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Spenser's poems, written at the height of the English Renaissance, continue to amaze readers with their fantastic imagination of unseen worlds both mythic and divine. Moreover, Spenser's poetic evocations of geographically specific places, including Ireland and America, reflect Spenser's powerful engagement with issues related to English plantation and territorial expansion. In this course we will consider how Spenser's eclectic and allusive works connect to a variety of literary, cultural, and critical contexts, with particular attention to their status as "colonial texts". 1.00 units, Seminar
