This course provides an in-depth exploration of a select group of texts or authors from British literature of the eighteenth century, the age of Englightenment and a time of exploration that launched industrialization, capitalism, the slave trade, imperialism, and the police force and prisons, as well as the vibrant new genres of the novel, biography, and the first comprehensive dictionary. Selected texts or authors (such as Behn, Defoe, Fielding, Pope, Haywood, and Austen) will be studied in terms of a particular historical, cultural, or other context, or in terms of a convergence with authors or texts from other literary traditions or intellectual disciplines. Examples might include bawdy dramas vs. elegant novels of manners, “secret histories” of disguise and mistaken identity, criminal biographies and moral philosophy, and how to choose a marriage partner. This course fulfills the Contexts and Convergences and an Early British Literature requirement in the English major and a literature requirement for students in the English with a Creative Writing and English with a Professional Writing Emphasis majors. In addition, it also satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121, 190 or ENGL 201-204.
