TT 12:30 MAISANO OLD CATEGORY: D* NEW CATEGORY: * This class, which is ambitiously subtitled Imitation and Invention from the Reformation to the Restoration, will be a semester-long attempt (on the part of the professor and students alike) to answer two very large and difficult questions. First: what was new about sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England and the literature it produced And second: how did such newnesswhat scholars now refer to as early modernityarise from (and yet ultimately displace) the veneration for antiquity that characterized Renaissance humanism Fortunately, we can only answer these questions by reading, studying and discussing together an absolutely amazing set of texts, including, but not limited to: Thomas Mores Utopia, Arthur Goldings translation of Ovids Metamorphoses, Sir Philip Sidneys The Defense of Poesy, Edmund Spensers The Faerie Queene, The Authorized (King James) Bible, Francis Bacons Novum Organum, John Donnes Songs and Sonnets, Margaret Cavendishs The Blazing World, and John Miltons Paradise Lost. Students will also read some recent literary criticism and theory and write a couple of "not-very-long" papers.
