To take English 2322/2323 students must have already taken and passed English 1301/1302 during their Junior year. This prerequisite is a LoneStar requirement and cannot be waived. English IV Dual Credit (ENG 2322/2323) will cover a wide variety of British literature. 2322 will cover the development of British literature from the Anglo-Saxon period to the Eighteenth Century. 2323 will cover British literature from the Romantic period to the present. Students will study works of prose, poetry, drama, and fiction in relation to their historical and cultural contexts. Texts will be selected from a diverse group of authors and traditions.

This course introduces major authors, literary movements, and paradigms in British literature from the Anglo-Saxon period, the Eighteenth century, the Romantic period, the Victorian era, and the 20th-Century. Students will read different genres including prose and poetry. Since we will be dealing with canonical works, there may be some familiarity with some of the pieces; however, others will offer a unique perspectives experiences, or ideas. In particular, there will be papers and discussions on what can be learned about the people and culture that produced these texts. Careful consideration should be given to what the literature can teach one about the world, oneself, humanity, and the importance of perspective as it relates to truth. Though many may think the literature does not relate to current times, this course will reveal how British literature from the Anglo-Saxon period through the 19th and 20th centuries developed into today's complex, modern thinking.

According to LoneStar, a 2300-level literature course introduces students to a study of the literary history of a particular people and/or a particular time period. Fiction and non-fiction prose, as well as poetry and drama, are included in these reading-intensive courses. The techniques learned and refined in 2300-level literature courses are intended not only to teach students to contextualize, analyze, and interpret literature, but also to analyze and interpret any type of text students may encounter, no matter what their major field of study may be. Students will write at least one researched paper based on established techniques in literary criticism. Students will also be required to make oral presentations, create projects, and/or participate in group activities based on their research.

All literature courses should reinforce and expand upon the conventions of formal written communication, such as depth of content, proper mechanics, Standard English and MLA format. MLA is vital to this course and students will use many of its current features.
