This course is designed to introduce the most important British writers
from the Medieval Period to the present. Given this scope, the course can
provide only a limited study of any writer. Daily assignments are given
on the syllabus so that you will know what is expected for each class.
Follow the syllabus closely; read each assignment before coming to class.
There will be three tests. The final will NOT be cumulative.
We'll have one essay exam during the quarter & an outside mini-research
paper (These are standard for all the 201 & 202 classes).
