This course follows a 2-year intensive Renaissance literature program. The students will read 36 classic novels that focus on mood, romanticism, Realism, and the movement toward modernity during this 3-trimester period. The students will travel to Great Britain on an English Literary Tour with their Literature teacher. They will visit the homes and museums of English writers (Shakespeare, Bronte, Dickens, Austen, Keats, Wordsworth, etc.). Students will come away from this course with a depth of perception about human motivation and value. The program will include lectures about authors, their times, impact and the changes in literature of the era. Students will participate in discussions, write critical analyses, memorize and recite quotations, and present speeches. These skills are invaluable to their understanding of the literary milieu. The students’ understanding of life and human interaction will be enhanced; they will also be able to put the works in historical and cultural context.
