This lecture course offers an introduction to a crucial epoch of English literature and British and Irish culture. Some call it “the early modern age”, others “the Renaissance” – the implications of both terms will be discussed. The time span under discussion comprises the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I, the Elizabethan ‘golden’ age of British literature, the Jacobean age, the Carolean age and the Civil War. This was a time of expansion and unrest, of the shattering of old certainties, and the literature of the age, renowned as it is for its aesthetic qualities, both traces and comments on these and other cultural issues. Among the authors to be discussed are: John Skelton, Sir Thomas More, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey, Elizabeth I, Sir Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Ralegh, Edmund Spenser, Christopher Marlowe, Robert Greene, Thomas Nashe, William Shakespeare, Michael Drayton, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton, John Donne, George Herbert, John Webster, Sir Francis Bacon, Robert Burton, Elizabeth Cary, Mary Wroth, Katherine Philips.
