This course covers all of the substantive material that is usually taught in a British literature course at the college level. It reviews authors, works, periods, common literary terms, such as metaphor and personification, and basic literary forms, such as the sonnet and the ballad.

“In these lectures we will cover a wide variety of topics quickly, and you will learn a lot of new vocabulary, theories, and history of literature. We will go over 1) Literature Terminology 2) Poetry Terminology 3) Other Important Terms, 4) Literary Periods, 5) Literary Criticism, and 6) Writing the Essay. You will also review additional readings and practice test questions to prepare for the test,” explains Erika Figel, professor in the City University of New York system.

Our “English Literature” course is completely self-paced. There are no prerequisites to take this course. Any student who wants to save time and money while completing freshman year in college can take it.
