Metaphysical Poets Paper

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Please read the examiners report on this paper for the two years preceding the present, and seek to avoid replicating approaches such reports single out as particularly pedestrian. For a paper examined on three essays and taught on six (plus one vacation essay), seek to prepare for examination five (exceptionally six) model essays. This means that of the seven you will complete, only one or two can afford to fall short of Final Honours examination standard. When choosing authors, make sure that you achieve a good spread across the chronological range of the paper, and of the genres available. In other words, only drama or only 1590s literature will not do. Please consult at least one piece of recent secondary work (published in the last five years) per essay, and refer to it. Append bibliographies to your essays of work consulted, even if not referred to in the body of the essay
