Today, we reviewed the syllabus and got to know one another. Tomorrow, we’ll get to work on a timeline, providing historical context for future discussions.
The homework: According to last name, focus on a 50-year span. Research who was in power during those years, birth/death dates for the authors on our syllabus, and identify at least four significant events that happened during that time.
1550-1600: Last names that begin with A-B
1600-1650: Last names that begin with C-H
1650-1700: Last names that begin with I-P
1700-1750: Last names that begin with R-S
1750-1800: Last names that begin with T-Z
Also, please obtain the text, The Longman Anthology of British Literature, ASAP!
The first quiz is Thursday; it will only cover the Queen Elizabeth I readings, including the introduction on pgs. 616-618.
