Course Description: British Literature II is a survey course that examines the development of British literature from the Romantic period to the present with emphasis on major writers and periods. Students will study selected works of prose, poetry, drama and fiction in relation to their historical and cultural contexts, in order to become familiar with key authors and works that represent this period of British literature and the multiple voices and diverse perspectives and traditions within it. Students will also be introduced to a variety of critical approaches as lenses through which they can view literature. As a survey course, British Literature II is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of the historical and cultural conditions that influenced the development and formation of British literature from the Romantic period on. Upon completion, students should be able to interpret, analyze, and respond to literary works in their historical and cultural contexts. This course will provide the necessary background for a more in-depth understanding of and appreciation for British literature not covered in the course, and it will prepare students for more advanced study of literature in general.
