LITR315 - British Poetry from Blake to the Beatles

Course Code: LITR315 Course ID: 5254 Credit Hours: 3 Level: Undergraduate

Don’t miss LITR315! We play the classics from Shakespeare to Sting and everything in between. In an eight-week exploration of British verse, we’ll ask the important questions: Was Chaucer a feminist? Was Satan the hero in Milton’s work? Were the otherworldly visions of Blake for real? We’ll also take a look at the conspiracy theories that rocked the poetry world. Where did the conspiracy theory of Paul McCartney’s death come from? And who was the actual recipient of Shakespeare’s sonnets? These are just some of the showstoppers we discuss in British Poetry from Blake to the Beatles. With three projects and no quizzes, don’t let this one get away! (Pre-requisite: ENGL210 for English majors, or ENGL101 or ENGL110 for non-English majors)
