Marks 100 (80+20) [20 Marks Internal Assessment] Credits: 8
This paper acquaints students with the contexts of the English literary tradition. Students are expected to read and relate the circumstances that influenced, shaped and contributed to the process of literary production from the medieval period to the Renaissance. There would be four questions of 14 marks each (14×4=56) and four questions of 6 marks each (6×4=24).
The literary history of the period from the Norman Conquest (1066) to the Restoration (1660) will be studied with reference to the following:
Medieval Romances: the late 12th century trouvère Jean Bodel’s division of these romances –
the ‘matter of France’, the ‘matter of Rome’ and the ‘matter of England’ (the ‘matter of
England’ to be studied with particular reference to Sir Gawain and the Greene Knight)
Fabliau, Lyric, Dream-Allegory, Ballad
Chaucer, Gower and Langland
The ‘New Learning’ of the Renaissance, Humanism: Francis Bacon
Tottel’s Miscellany: The poetry of Wyatt and Surrey
