Ben Jonson and the Cavalier Poets; a course reader
Description
This seminar will focus on Jonson’s and Herrick’s verse, particularly on the openly frivolous poems. Our aim will be to come to conclusions about what these poems do that gives pleasure. We will also think about the usefulness and accuracy of the distinction between “Jonson-like” and “Donne-like” poems that a course like this one rests on. And we’ll end by considering possible similarities between Renaissance wit and the wordplay often found in country music song lyrics.
This section of English 190 satisfies the pre-1800 requirement for the English major.
