  • ENG 339: Revenge and Restoration Drama

    3.00 Credits

    Seventeenth-century drama reflects one of the more tumultuous eras in British history--a king beheaded, public theaters closed, a bloody civil war, and the restoration of the monarchy. During this period, symmetrical forms replaced mixed genres, women supplanted boys on stage, and comedy trumped tragedy. Students read Jacobean revenge tragedies and some Restoration comedies to explore how issues of class, gender, and politics played themselves out during this era.

    3.00 Credits

    This course investigates various literary and cultural crises during the British modernist period. The fragmentation of traditional narrative and poetic style, a shift toward psychic interiority, and the alienation of the artist are all considered hallmarks of modernist literature. We wil contextualize such changges by asking how they are connected to the social and political crises of the age. Among our considerations will be how science and technology, evolutionary theory, the New Woman, and colonialism challenge traditional notions of what it means to be hman at the turn of the twentieth century. We will investigate these changes in texts by writers such as Joseph Conrad, E.M Forster, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf.
