ENGL 21025 - Shakespeare to Wilde (pre-1900)

Course Credit: 1
(CMLT, WGSS)
QUEER LITERATURE FROM SHAKESPEARE TO WILDE This course surveys literature from approximately 1600-1900 with emphasis on analyzing representations of same-sex friendships, romances, and sexual relationships and on understanding how they were imagined differently than they would later be in the 20th and 21st centuries. Featured texts may include sonnets by Richard Barnfield and William Shakespeare, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, poems by Katherine Philips and Aphra Behn, erotic fiction by Eliza Haywood, Charlotte Brontë’s Villette, and Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray.
