A study of non-dramatic English literature from the accession of James I to the restoration of the monarchy in the person of Charles II. The course devotes equal attention to poetry and prose. The poetry is examined in terms of the traditions established by Donne, Jonson and Spenser. The prose is analyzed thematically and stylistically with attention being given to new prose genres and the four major seventeenth-century prose styles: Ciceronian, Senecan, Baroque and “Scientific.”
