ENG-204 British Lit: 18th Century to the Present

This class examines the literature of the British Empire from the Romantics to the modern era. Beginning with the code of social customs and manners, the class will follow the works of British poetry and literature from the intellectuals, the romantics, the orphans, the monsters, the Victorians, the detectives, and the magicians that have populated British story and poetry since the 1800s. We will examine the social customs, practices, and problems inherent within the British Empire and the places they colonized. We will also discuss the complicated legacy of British literature through literary analysis, writing, and discussion. *Arts/Humanities Approved General Education Course.
