  • ENG 317: Renaissance Studies

    1.00 Credits
    Gustavus Adolphus College

    Literature written in England between about 1500 and 1650, at various moments rejected its medieval roots, tried to give rebirth to a classical heritage, and invented the basis for what we regard as our "modern" selves. In the midst of religious turmoil, world exploration and colonization, economic expansion, and technological development, love poetry flourished, religious devotion found sublime expression, rulers crafted words to confirm their domination, and playwrights kept crowds spellbound. Topics will vary from term to term, but readings will cover works by authors such as Thomas More, Edmund Spenser, Philip Sidney, Elizabeth I, Aemilia Lanyer, Christopher Marlowe, John Donne, Ben Jonson, Robert Herrick, Lady Mary Wroth, and George Herbert. Prerequisites: ENG-114, ENG-115 or ENG-116, ENG-121 or ENG-122. WRITD, Fall semester, odd years.
