ENGL 324P: The Age of Elizabeth 1 unit Prerequisites: Completion with a 2.0 or better of at least three units in English, including one unit numbered ENGL 220 to ENGL 289; or pemission of instructor. An exploration of Elizabethan literature in its literary and cultural context. Examines the ways in which writers deployed poetry, prose, and drama in the service of political ambition, literary aspiration, and religious sentiment, as well as erotic desire. The broad goal is to use these literary expressions to discuss the ways that subjectivity in the Renaissance rested uneasily on distinctions between self-assertion and narcissism, soul and body, health and disease. Particular attention is given to ways in which poetic expression contributes to the gendering of subjectivity. MacInnes
