From Gawain and the Green Knight to Skyfall, Spenser’s Faerie Queene to T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, romance is a genre which embraces some of the greatest works of literature as well as being a vehicle for some of its most seductive fictions. The course explores this rich cultural tradition, analysing works in verse and prose (and film) from six centuries while also investigating the efforts of literary theorists to explain the remarkable persistence and reinvention of the genre. Among the authors studied are Marie de France, Spenser, Milton, Austen, Keats, Browning, T.S. Eliot and David Lodge.
