The seminar offers an introduction to the poetry of the early modern period by way of a close reading of the texts and an interpretation in the cultural context of the period. We will study the genesis of the English sonnet and its transformation from Wyatt via Shakespeare to Milton, the metaphysical poetry of the early 17th Century as well as a number of poems by Marvell and Milton, who - in spite of their Puritan commitment - are very critical of their Puritan compatriots and the English Revolution.
A Reader with all the texts will be available at the beginning of the semester. |
