AESTH INTP 38 - The English Language as Literature

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course will recount the development of English literature, from Caedmon's hymn to Ulysses, as a story about the development of the English language, its new musculatures: how the steady accretion of linguistic and word-musical possibilities (French and Latin vocabulary, Italian stanza forms, Germanic and Celtic archaisms, finally a sort of pan-European synthesis) shaped the works of Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Swift, MacPherson, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Hopkins, Yeats, Joyce, and Beckett.
