ENG 11 - English Literature: Anglo-Saxon Period to Early Modern

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course will look back to the very beginnings of British literature and language to trace the birth of literary forms and ideas that still preoccupy and excite today: the memoir, the novel, the love story, the narrative of pilgrimage. The survey will begin with such foundational texts as Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and continue through to the early modern period in the 17th century, taking in masterworks by writers such as Chaucer, Spenser, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton, and Congreve. All of the readings will be considered in a literary and historical context so that the student will gain an understanding of the cultural and philosophical influences that shaped the texts. Same as WLT 11. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
