ENGL 116 SC - Early Modern Outsiders
This course focuses on those positioned-by accident or design-on the margins of early modern English literary culture We will read polemical literature that has an explicit agenda against particular individuals or groups alongside texts that engage in more complex ways with racial, religious, and sexual difference. By considering famous Shakespearean “others” such as Shylock and Othello alongside authors who themselves lived marginalized or precarious lives, we will explore how different literary genres could both provide a voice to the vulnerable and be used as a weapon against them.
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every other year
