This course follows from Introduction to British Literature and Culture I,
given the previous term. It will study British literature and culture from
the mid-eighteenth century to the present. The course will look at fiction,
poetry, and non-fiction prose in light of connections to British history and
its cultural developments: economic, scientific, artistic, and social. The
authors we will read include Samuel Johnson, William Wordsworth, Elizabeth
Gaskell, Christina Rossetti, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and Salman Rushdie.
There will be two lectures and one discussion section each week, and
requirements will include quizzes and assignments, a midterm, final, and two
short papers.
