ENGLISH 3UU3 - Renaissance and Revolution: Studies in 17th-Century Literature

3 unit(s)

British literature and culture in this period of “Renaissance” and “Revolution” offers a rich and varied record of human imagination when confronted with enormous change in social and economic structures, literacy, science, and religion, not to mention the cataclysmic civil wars of the mid-century. In this course we’ll study selected texts from the period to explore topics such as order and uncertainty; witchcraft, magic, and science; desire, devotion, and dissent; and the politics of race, gender, and early colonialism.
