  • ENGL 016: Topics in Literature

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Freshman Seminar. Freshman Seminars under the title "Topics in Literature" will afford entering students who are considering literary study as their major the opportunity to explore a particular and limited subject with a professor whose current work lies in that area. Topics may range from the lyric poems of Shakespeare's period to the ethnic fiction of contemporary America. Small class-size will insure all students the opportunity to participate in lively discussions. Students may expect frequent and extensive writing assignments, but these seminars are not writing courses; rather, they are intensive introductions to the serious study of literature. One of them may be counted toward the English major and may be applied to a period, genre, or thematic requirement within the major. See the English Department's website at www.english.upenn.edu for a description of the current offerings.

  • ENGL 017: Age of Beowulf

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Distribution Course in Arts & Letters. Class of 2009 & prior only. This course introduces students to the great Old English epic Beowulf within the larger context of Anglo-Saxon culture. We will read the poem in its entirety (after a crash course on Old English grammar); as we do so, we will use our experience of the poem to branch out into such topics as Anglo-Saxon poetics, mythologies and genealogies, manuscript culture, monastic life, archeology, legal codes, slavery, and gender relations. Finally, we will use the poem to think through the place of Old English in modern American and British culture, as for example, the way we conceive of the English language, national identity, and our medieval-saturated popular culture (romances, films, videogames, etc.). See the English Department's website at www.english.upenn.edu for a description of the current offerings.
