Description
|
English 200B is the
first half of the lower-division survey of British Literature offered at
CSU Los Angeles. In this course, we will examine significant literary
texts its Anglo-Saxon beginnings up to the restoration of monarchial rule
in Britain in 1660. We will begin the
process of locating these texts in their specific historical and cultural
contexts as well as in the broader and more contentious context of
literary and aesthetic history. Since we will attempt to cover over 700
years of British literary history in less than ten weeks, we will be
forced to omit much, generalize frequently, and move too quickly.
Because this is a lecture-discussion class rather than a formal lecture
course, active and informed contribution to class discussion is expected
from all students.
