EN336 FREEDOM, POWER, AND THE BODY: RESTORATION BRITISH LITERATURE
When Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660 after decades of Puritan rule, English cultural and scientific activity exploded. This course relates both this surprising era's celebration of pleasure and its ardent pursuit of scientific discovery to its philosophy, poetry, and plays. We'll consider the new models of nature and of sexual difference that emerged then, borne of dissections and global exploration, in relation to the witty plays for which the era is best known-plays in which the drive to gratify individual desire is presented as human nature, and in which women performed as actresses on stage for the first time in English history. In different yet related ways, these works share a suspicion that biology is destiny-that our bodies provide our identities. We'll read plays by George Etheredge, Walter Charleton, Thomas Shadwell, and Aphra Behn; poetry by John Wilmot, earl of Rochester; and excerpts from Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan; and we will see several films, including depictions of courtly decadence like "The Libertine" (2004) and a 1995 BBC production of Behn's The Rover. This course counts toward the Gender Studies minor.
