This course discusses five key time periods of British literature, while presenting the material on a level the students will be able to understand. Most importantly, this course explores the problem of the human condition as it occurs in literature and challenges students to understand that problem. They will consider various solutions to the problem and how those solutions differ from those they might make in their own lives | WHY STUDY BRITISH LITERATURE? | British Literature prepares students for the rigors of reading and critical thinking at the college level. They will broaden their cultural literacy and sharpen their sensitivity to aesthetics within the gifts of language and storytelling.
