Reading Literature Please refer to each section for specific course descriptions. Foundations of English Literature I Pre Students will study Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Milton's Paradise Lost , as well as other foundational works of English literature that may include Shakespeare, non-Shakespearean Elizabethan drama, the poetry of Donne, and other 16th- and 17th-century poetry.

Coursework will include reading poetry and critical essays, viewing videos, listening to recordings, composing and performing or recording one poem, and attending one live event. Critical Writing Individual guidance and seminar discussions, workshops, tutorials for those undertaking one-term projects in literary criticism or analysis.
