ENG 223-01 - The Tradition of English Lit I4 credits (Spring)
Make Love, Not War. This hippie, counterculture slogan might seem to draw its power from its irreverence or to reflect a brief moment in the 1960s. However, this course will take the phrase seriously as we explore how discourses of love, sex, and gender played a profound role in discussions of peace and war in medieval and early modern England. In turn, we will trace thinking about love as a political concept and locate emergent expressions of what peace scholars term “positive peace,” a formulation that interprets peacebuilding as active work and not simply a respite from war.
Prerequisite: ENG 120 or ENG 121 for majors; for non-majors, ENG 120 or ENG 121 or third-year standing.
