ENGL 3230
Renaissance Poetry

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

From the Renaissance to the present, love and its codes have intrigued writers and readers. What does it mean for a poem when love is the theme? Hearts, flowers, cupids? Seduction, ambition, power? How are private feelings and historical forces linked? Can writing poetry endanger your career or even your life? This course is for anyone interested in poetry, regardless of background, willing to work in a small discussion setting to examine the craft of lyric, ponder questions, think about the aesthetic and social stakes of reading Renaissance poetry. Some authors and poems will be familiar to you (Shakespeare, Donne), others will be new. Our goal is to open windows for reading them. Expect the unexpected and some serious fun with rich material.

When Offered Spring.
