Representations of London in Restoration and Eighteenth-Century English Literature

3 credits

Working within critical theories about place and space, this course traces London’s representation in poetry, fiction, and drama from the massive destruction of the Great Fire in 1666 through the city’s growth into a metropolis alternatively celebrated for its size and diversity and feared for its mysteries. ***Prerequisite: ENGL 100 and either ENGL 110 or completion of 48 credit hours.***
