The period known as the Renaissance, therefore, set the precedent for subsequent reawakenings and revivals of artistic power and influence.

  Classicism is a mode of thinking generally associated with traditionalism, rationalism, conservatism, the admiration of the past (particularly Greece and Rome), and the attempt to discover what is unchanging in human nature. Many English and continental writers of the 17th and 18th centuries were absorbed by this approach to life and literature, and their age has become variously known as the age of reason, classicism, neoclassicism, and enlightenment. This course will explore writing from this age and consider examples of classicism in the writing of authors after the age of reason had passed. Prerequisite:    ENGL 102
