Additional Requirements and/or Comments:
There is almost no overlap between the material covered in this course and that considered in 'The 1790s'--several poems such as "Tintern Abbey" are read in both courses, but in very different contexts.
This course carries a research option for English majors intending to write an honors thesis, and contributes to the British Lit and Theory and Literary Forms concentrations. |
