It includes the periods of Renaissance and Restoration. The course of study introduces the students to some of the recognised masters of the language and to the predominant tendencies of various literary periods. The course deepens the students understanding of genre, style and content to which they were introduced in the first year unit. The course introduces notions such as literary influence (including the Bible and ancient Greek and Roman sources) and the relation of the individual to the literary tradition.
