Class discussion will focus on cultural, social, historical, and political issues raised by the literature and students' reactions to them. Consideration of the pedagogical impact of works and analysis will be included where appropriate. Writers studied include the Beowulf poet, Chaucer, Spencer, Marie de France, Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, and Johnson. Prerequisite: ENGL 1213. F LIT 4883 WOMEN AND LITERATURE This course will acquaint student with literature by women from the medieval to the present time and from all over the world, exploring issues these writers raise concerning the lives and art of women.
