ENG 340 - Special Topics in English Literature Since 1700 (3 Cr.) (GEN. ED. #7 and #9)
Topic for 2011-12: Sex, Irony, and Political Protest: English Satire from Rochester to Lord Byron. This seminar will look at the bawdy, irreverent, and politically wildly oppositional English satirical tradition from Lord Rochester at the court of King Charles II through Swift, Pope, Johnson, and Gibbon to the unique combination of liberal idealism and radical pessimism of the wildest of all English authors, Lord Byron. The course will also attend to the rich tradition of graphic satire in the age of Hogarth, Rowlandson, Gillray, and the rest. May be repeated for credit with a different topic. Spring semester. White.
