ENGL 200 introduces students to the history of literature in the English language, from early writings from the Anglo-Saxon period to contemporary works from around the English-speaking world. Organized around works representative of major periods, movements, and places in literary history, and supplemented by historical information and documents, the course traces developments in the definition of English as a literary language, the status and role of the writer in society, and the ways in which literary texts circulate, as each relates and contributes to the understanding of individual texts. 

The course is divided into six units that correspond to the major periods of literature in English studies: 

• Unit A: The Middle Ages
• Unit B: The Sixteenth Century and the Early Seventeenth Century
• Unit C: The Restoration and the Eighteenth Century
• Unit D: The Romantic Period
• Unit E: The Victorian Age
• Unit F: The Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
