 | | The English minor is designed to provide a good view of the whole field of English and American Literature, an opportunity for the exercise of disciplined literary analysis, and a varied experience of the best literature in English. |
 | | Topics may center on major late English renaissance ideas or themes such as the political, philosophical, or religious questions, or on other ideas or topics of importance, as they are reflected in the literary forms of the period (metaphysical or Cavalier poetry, the character, etc.). |
 | | A: English literature from 1660-1730, with particular emphasis on drama (Wycherley, Congreve, Behn, etc.) and satire (Dryden, Rochester, Pope, Gay, Swift); B: English literature from 1730-1790, with particular emphasis on the emerging English novel (Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, Burney), mid-century poetry (Thomson, Gray, Goldsmith), and the Age of Johnson (including Boswell, Wollstonecraft, Burke). |
