ENG 3326 Early Modern Literature

Consideration of major writers of the period in light of their contribution to modern culture: the way in which they explore the limits of continental and English lyric conventions, the problematic character of political and religious contexts, the implications of the new science and philosophy upon traditional poetic models. In addition to an emphasis on Shakespeare's poetry and drama, the course also treats authors such as Spenser, Sidney, the Metaphysicals, Milton, Pope and Swift.
