ENG 255 - Introduction to British Literary History
Credits: 3
This course examines the historical development of British literature, from the Anglo-Saxon invasions that catalyzed the birth of a British national identity and brought Beowulf into the literature of England, through the contentious development of this national identity into a global power, to Britain’s 20th century post-colonial status. By concentrating on representative or “canonical” works as well as those conventionally underrepresented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand British literary works in their social, political, and cultural contexts.

ENG 265 - Introduction to American Literary History
Credits: 3
ENG 265 provides an overview of the main currents in the development of American literature, from its beginnings in pre-colonial times through its reliance on and then struggle against British and European themes and forms, to its 20th-century development into the many voices of an uneasily multi-ethnic world power. By historically situating representative works from within the canon as well as from voices traditionally excluded or under-represented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand literature as the product of and often as challenging this background.
