COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course, which is a continuation of FLE 140 English Literature I, gives students an overview
of literature produced in Britain from the Romantic Period to the Twentieth Century. Through the
study of representative texts in their respective cultural, social, political, artistic and philosophical
contexts, students are expected to develop an understanding of the major movements and ideas in
the history of English Literature. The course also aims to equip students with a heightened
awareness and a comparative perspective concerning the history and development of ideas in the
West in general and in Britain in particular.
