ENG-310 English Renaissance Literature
A survey of English poetry, drama, and prose from
1500 to 1660, considered in their complex
relationship to the period's social, economic,
political, and religious upheavals; to its
nurturing of, and anxiety about, innovation; to
its celebration of stable hierarchies and its
intensely centrifugal energies; to its iconoclasm
and its taste for lush artistic forms; and to its
eager embrace of European literary forms and
stubborn affection for native
traditions.(Literature Seminars)
