Course Description

This course is a study of British literature of the 19th and 20th centuries from the same approach as that of British Literature I. This course also stresses methods of library research and emphasizes composition of the research paper and the paper of literary interpretation. (Note: This course partially satisfies the writing requirements outlined in the General Education Requirements. British Literature I is not necessarily a prerequisite to this course).

Learning Outcomes and Objectives
