Description
We will explore the relationship between literature and everyday life in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Areas of emphasis include popular periodical literature (England's first advice column, its first "women's magazine," and the first periodical to be published daily), the early novel, and the writings of Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift. In addition to the texts listed below, there will be a course reader.
Course requirements: two short analyses (1-2 pages), one substantial paper (7-9 pages), and a final exam.
This course satisfies the pre-1800 requirement for the English major.
