One of the richest traditions in world literature, the English literary tradition is the foundation of all other literature written in English. From Gulliver's Travels to "The Tyger," from Jane Austen to "Jabberwocky:" your favorite authors writing today know these classics. This course surveys 250 years of English poetry and prose, from the barbed wit of Swift and Pope and the beguiling wanderings of the Romantics poets, to the myths retold by Victorian writers and the rumblings of war in Modernism. Lectures and weekly discussion sections teach close reading and other skills needed for in-depth literary study. Authors may include Alexander Pope, William Blake, John Keats, Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, W.B. Yeats, Virginia Woolf, and others. No previous study of this literature is assumed.
