A play is "A just and lively Image of Humane Nature, representing its Passions and Humours, and the Changes of Fortune to which it is subject; for the Delight and Instruction of Mankind," wrote John Dryden (borrowing from the Roman poet Horace). In English 251H we will read dramatic texts (including an opera) in comparison with one other, and against the backdrop of other contemporary texts, to situate them in their intellectual and cultural contexts. By the end of this course, you will be familiar with the history of English drama in the Restoration and early Eighteenth century. More broadly, you will be capable of critiquing the canonical status of literary texts, and of judging literature's relevance to cultural history and to modern culture. You will develop techniques for reading and annotating dramatic and other texts, and think critically and write perceptively about the issues informing these texts.
