Engl 2283.X1 – Seventeenth-Century Literature
T/Th 3:00 – 4:30
Prof: Richard Cunningham

This section of ENGL 2283 will be mostly a poetry course. Students will read from most of the major English poets of the seventeenth century, as well as a few very important poets of the late sixteenth century.  In addition to poetry, students can expect to read short prose pieces such as essays by Francis Bacon, the same author’s speculative fiction The New Atlantis, a couple of essays by John Milton, and two or three dramatic works from the period (probably one each by Shakespeare, Jonson, and Dryden).
