A survey of British literature of the “long 18th century,” from the Restoration through the 1700s. Enormous cultural transformations, from the explosion of print culture, to the philosophical and scientific revolutions of the Enlightenment, to experiments in modern democratic thought, to the speed of travel and international trade, mark the era as one of the most turbulent and exciting in Western history. The course will include authors such as Behn, Defoe, Swift, Pope and Johnson. This course contributes to the pre-1865 literature requirement.

Prerequisite(s): W tag.
