Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

English

Description:

This class will grapple with the problem of Modernity (beginning in the late 16th century) by studying the works of William Shakespeare and other English authors of the time period, such as Christopher Marlowe, John Donne, and Edmund Spenser. How do these writers engage with and participate in the momentous cultural shift away from medieval hierarchy and an agrarian economy to the emergent modern world of individual rights and a free market? This course fulfills the Periods and Movements (pre-1800) requirement for English majors.
