Eighteenth-Century Popular Literature and History: An Interdisciplinary Approach

3 credits · Graduate

This half-credit course engages in the interdisciplinary study of popular literature. Various theories of popular culture are considered. Students encounter relevant scholarship outside of literary criticism (e.g., art, legal, and economic history, social psychology, folklore and music) by way of an examination of selected episodes in eighteenth-century English life.
