Academic Year 2004/2005
Enlightenment to Modernism: British Literature, 1750-1930
ENGL 208 FA
This course is a survey of modern British literature and culture that provides an introduction to the British Enlightenment, Romanticism, the Victorian age, and Modernism. In the first third of the course, we will
examine
the emergence in the late eighteenth century of two new literary forms: The novel and Romantic poetry. The rest of the term, we will trace the development and transformation of these genres at the hands of Victorian and
modernist
writers. Throughout, our emphasis will be on the ways in which literary form both responds to and shapes the movements of history.
