Lit 3: The Renaissance
Lit 3 covers more, in fact, than just the Renaissance. In it, we read the comedic novel Don Quixote (in an abridged translation). We work our way through the Milton’s magnificent English epic, Paradise Lost. We spend time on the Romantic poets, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, and the Gothic novel Frankenstein. Then more poetry by Tennyson and short works by Poe, Emerson and Thoreau. We finish the year with the great American saga, Moby Dick.
Please see the course calendar for meeting time. All class sessions will be recorded.
