Description

This course focuses on the evolution of literary, dramatic and some cultural works of the period; of the reign of Henry VIII; the 'Golden Age' of Elizabeth I; the early Stuarts, James I and Charles I; the Civil War and Commonwealth periods of the mid-seventeenth century; and the Restoration from 1660-1688. The course covers a period of enormous social change and incorporates some fundamental questions about what the past means to us, how we understand the past, and how we read works from the past. It explores works from various social, cultural and theoretical perspectives.
