ENGL 200 - A SURVEY OF

ENGLISH LITERATURE I

“In spring folk long to go on pilgrimage”—so begins
Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14th century masterpiece of the
English tradition, The Canterbury Tales. In English
200, we will set out on a pilgrimage which honours
the living beauty of the English language and its
greatest writers such as Spenser, Shakespeare and
Donne, ending in the 17th century with Milton.

Pre-requisites: A "C" or better in ENGL 110/117 or ENGL
112/114 or 114 or equivalent, or written permission of the
Instructor and School Chair.

ENGL 201 - A SURVEY OF
ENGLISH LITERATURE II

From the calm reason of the Enlightenment to

the passion of the Romantics, we still live out the
questions first asked by the brilliant writers of 18th
and 19th Centuries. In the company of such authors
as Pope, Swift, Wollstonecraft, Keats, Wordsworth,
and Austen, we continue our pilgrimage into culture,
belief, and literary achievement begun in the previous
semester with English 200.

Pre-requisites: A "C" or better in ENGL 200 or equivalent
or written permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair.
