Credit: 1.0 | Prerequisite: English III

When discussing British literature, it is important to acknowledge that it spans nearly a millennium; in essence, the study of British literature is the study of the English language as we know it. In this course, we examine British literature beginning with some of the earliest written works in the English language, culminating in more recent works. Different approaches to literary analysis and the tools required for effective composition are discussed, and students learn to incorporate these in their writing.
