ENGL 120 SC - Eighteenth-Century British Literature

The 18th century was a period of benevolent geniality and vicious satire, stern moralism and weepy sentimentality, the worship of reason, and the fear of madness. It saw the rise of the novel, the near death of the drama, and the stirrings of a new poetry. We shall investigate this age through a reading of major authors, including Pope, Swift, Fielding, Richardson, Sheridan, Johnson, and Austen.
