BRITISH LITERATURE
British literature spans almost two thousand years from the Anglo-Saxon
oral tradition of scops to the twentieth century. We begin with Beowulf
and follow a chronological approach ending with contemporary fiction in
June. In addition to the literature of England, the course includes
historical and cultural background, creative writing opportunities, literature
circles, oral presentations and the research paper. Interpretation
of the literature is coupled with an emphasis on writing and research skills
throughout the year.
