Christopher Marlowe, "Dr Faustus"; William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream"; "Hamlet"; "Richard II"; William Wycherley, "The Country Wife". Students are expected to prepare for this survey by an intensive reading of the major works dealt with, and by reading selected chapters from a literary history of their choice, for example, Michael Alexander, "A History of English Literature" (Macmillan pb); Andrew Sanders, "The Short Oxford History of English Literature" (Oxford UP); Ulrich Seeber (ed.), "Englische Literaturgeschichte" (Metzler). Many of the texts discussed may be found in the Norton or the Arnold Anthology of British Literature. A reader with key passages from the main primary sources and additional background information will be available at the beginning of the semester in our SSS. The books are available at the Campus bookstores.
