An overview of the literary production of eighteenth-century Britain, looking at central authors and texts and interpreting them in their historical and literary contexts. The lectures will start with the authors of the "Augustan Age" (Pope, Swift, Gay), then have a look at the "Rise of the Novel" (Defoe, Fielding,
Richardson) and the "Age of Johnson" and finish with a study of aspects such as the Gothic Novel (Walpole, Radcliffe) and the poetry of early Romanticism (Gray, Smart, Blake), not forgetting the writing of women in the eighteenth century.
For example the Norton or Longman anthologies.
Some materials will be offered on the university’s Ilias webpage.
Final test = 100%.
