English Renaissance Literature
Staff
MWF 10:30-11:50a.m.
A course in the two most productive periods of English literature--the Tudor Era and the Seventeenth Century--comprised in what we call the English Renaissance. These periods are home to elegant Elizabethan authors (Wyatt, Ralegh, Sidney), brilliant dramatists (Marlowe, Jonson), and the restless Metaphysical Poets (Donne, Herbert) searching out new worlds of love and faith. The course is capped off by the towering Christian poet John Milton, who, as a young author, is plagued by fear he is a late-bloomer stymied by indecision, only to become later the finest English author of all.
