For the 19th century, a good portion of the course hours will be spent on examining English romantic poetry by reading and studying the selected texts of the major poets of the school including Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, and Keats. Two Victorian poets, Lord Tennyson and Robert Browning will be briefly discussed before we move on to Victorian novels which will be discussed in general manner. For the early 20th century part, the focus will be on the key figures of high modernism such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, and T. S. Eliot. The selected texts include short stories, poems, extracts of novels, and literary essays. Dramatic works are not included in this course for study largely because the periods in question are dominated by poetry and novel. The main purpose of this course is to get students acquainted with a range of canonic texts of English literature from the periods in question. Through reading and discussing the selected primary texts, students are expected to have some immediate knowledge of English literature in recent times and at the same time to develop their literary insights and skills in interpretation based on textual analysis. The course will also feature a critical inquiry into a host of issues and themes that inform the works of the periods under examination, such as the romantic perceptions of nature, innocence vs experience, imagination and the exotic, class consciousness, sexuality, beauty, death, etc. The teacher of this course particularly encourages intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and eagerness to contribute and share ideas in class. 英国历史（British History, 讲座型）主讲教师：钟美荪通过系统学习英国历史，了解英国社会结构、政治制度、文化民情等方面的发展脉络，开掘学生的兴趣和学习动力，以进一步深入探讨英国为现代社会发展所做出的独特贡献。同时，由于本课程为全英语课程（英文教材、英文讲授），可通过此课程提高学生阅读英文学术著作的能力和英语专业听课能力。本课程采用牛津英国史（英文原版著作）为教材，教学内容涉及从原始社会至18世纪的英国历史；重点为英国社会结构和政治制度的演变。Readings in Shakespeare（莎士比亚戏剧选读，讲座型）主讲教师：Marcia ValeThis course will offer students a close guided reading of some of Shakespeares plays.
