Advanced British Literature

Advanced British Literature offers a comprehensive survey of British literature, from the Anglo-Saxon period through the 20th century, using a college level anthology and additional selections from the genres of drama and fiction. The writing component of the course anticipates college level expectations, in format, style, and support of an arguable thesis, using both primary and secondary sources.  Students practice academic research skills that lead to a more proficient level of information literacy.
