  • LIT 358: British Literature and Religion: 1550-1700

    4.00 Credits
    The College of New Jersey

    An exploration of literary strategies used by British writers of the late 16th and the 17th centuries as they question what it means to be a person of faith when the very nature of faith is undergoing challenges. What does a bright, ambitious Catholic gentleman do when university degrees are available only to Protestants? Do Puritans sin if they write fiction, since a fiction is a lie? Who should be allowed to interpret Scripture? How do people of faith maintain their integrity when they disagree with those in power? As they cope with these and other questions, British writers create compelling and innovative literature.
