The course description and objectives are
available below - please scroll down
A timetable for Section 02 is available below, please
scroll down. Further information about materials and other things related to
our lessons will also be posted here as the semester progresses.
Our course book is the Norton Anthology of English
Literature, volume II
We will also use some parts of the Norton Anthology of
English Literature, volume I
Those who wish to go deeper into the subject are encouraged to read a
good History of English Literature for general background and in
order to develop a sense of the important issues that affected English
literature at different times. Then read as much good English literature
as you possibly can, using the history of Eng Lit as your guide to the classics
of each period. If you cannot access a history of Eng Lit, use Wikipedia, which
is usually very good on Literature and has links to on-line texts (usually to
Project Gutenberg texts). Another good source is the Bibliomania.com
website. It provides many literary texts and articles, all for free.
All you have to do is register (to get a password) and then read, read, read!
