Course Description
This course acquaints undergraduate students with some of the key texts in English in the sixteenth century. It begins with selections from the first printed English biblical texts as a means of laying an important foundation for an understanding of sixteenth-century culture, before continuing with examples of History, Poetry and Drama that helped to lay the foundations for subsequent literature in the English language.
