ENGL 170R PO - Reading The Faerie Queene


CrsNo ENGL170R PO


When Offered: Fall 2012.

Instructor(s): C. Rosenfeld

Reading The Faerie Queene. Our object will be the imaginative world of a poem that Spenser described as his “endlesse worke.” I would like us to think about the labor of poetic practice . In the Faerie Queene, people transform into trees, lions, and hedgehogs but they also transform into abstractions (like, jealousy); the dead return to life, souls transmigrate, and poems are literally inscribed onto hearts. Students will produce a 20-25 page essay. Prerequisites: 67 and two English courses excluding creative writing and writing pedagogy courses. Letter grade only. Prerequisite: ENGL 067 PO .
