ENGLISH 3TT3 - The Age of Elizabeth I

3 unit(s)

Galvanized by religious revolution, unprecedented geographic exploration, rapid urbanization, and rule by a female monarch, English literature and culture during the reign of Elizabeth I proved astonishingly vibrant. Focusing on selected topics and texts from the Elizabethan period, this course will explore how poets, playwrights, and other writers from this age debated new ideas about the self, the sacred, and the nation, as well as the role of gender, race, and class in relation to individual and group identity.
