Study the vibrant English literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, including the new genres of the public stage play and the love sonnet. Together, we�ll trace how English writers used poetry, prose, and drama to re-tell Classical stories of transgressive desire, confront religious and social change, and represent cultural negotiations with Islam and the Indigenous inhabitants of the Americas. Students will have the opportunity to explore four-hundred year old books in CU�s Special Collections. Formerly ENGL 4523.
