género o una época, o bien una introducción a uno de los principales
autores y sus obras.

John Milton: Paradise Lost
From Book 1
Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That shepherd who first taught the chosen seed
In the beginning how the heavens and earth
Rose out of Chaos: or, if Sion hill
Delight thee more, and Siloa's brook that flowed
Fast by the oracle of God, I thence
Invoke thy aid to my adventurous song,
That with no middle flight intends to soar
Above th' Aonian mount, while it pursues
Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme.
And chiefly Thou, O Spirit, that dost prefer
Before all temples th' upright heart and pure,
Instruct me, for Thou know'st; Thou from the first
Wast present, and, with mighty wings outspread,
Dove-like sat'st brooding on the vast Abyss,
And mad'st it pregnant: what in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That, to the height of this great argument,
I may assert Eternal Providence,
And justify the ways of God to men.
Sarah Egerton: The Emulation
Say, tyrant Custom, why must we obey
The impositions of thy haughty sway?
From the first dawn of life unto the grave,
Poor womankind's in every state a slave,
The nurse, the mistress, parent and the swain,
For love she must, there's none escape that pain.
Then comes the last, the fatal slavery:
The husband with insulting tyranny
Can have ill manners justified by law,
For men all join to keep the wife in awe.
Moses, who first our freedom did rebuke,
Was married when he writ the Pentateuch.
They're wise to keep us slaves, for well they know,
If we were loose, we should soon make them so.
We yield like vanquished kings whom fetters bind,
When chance of war is to usurpers kind;
Submit in form; but they'd our thoughts control,
And lay restraints on the impassive soul.
They fear we should excel their sluggish parts,
Should we attempt the sciences and arts;
Pretend they were designed for them alone,
So keep us fools to raise their own renown.
Thus priests of old, their grandeur to maintain,
Cried vulgar eyes would sacred laws profane;
So kept the mysteries behind a screen:
Their homage and the name were lost had they been seen.
But in this blessèd age such freedom's given,
That every man explains the will of heaven;
And shall we women now sit tamely by,
Make no excursions in philosophy,
Or grace our thoughts in tuneful poetry?
We will our rights in learning's world maintain;
Wit's empire now shall know a female reign.
Come, all ye fair, the great attempt improve,
Divinely imitate the realms above:
There's ten celestial females govern wit,
And but two gods that dare pretend to it.
And shall these finite males reverse their rules?
No, we'll be wits, and then men must be fools.
(1703)
Aquí hay unas indicaciones sobre cómo
hacer un comentario de texto.
Si queréis hacer prácticas, o consultas sobre cómo comentar alguno de
los textos, dudas de interpretación, etc., podéis venir a comentarlo a
las horas de tutorías.
1-2 octubre
Hablaremos de Shakespeare y otros autores renacentistas. Traed a clase
los siguientes textos del "montón" de lecturas, empezando por los de
Shakespeare; seguiremos por Jonson, Donne y Marvell. Si los leéis por
anticipado también podemos consultar dudas de comprensión en clase—o en
las tutorías, claro. El horario está arriba. La última semana de
septiembre no podré atender todo el tiempo a tutorías porque me toca ir
a un tribunal a esas horas.
Sobre Shakespeare imparto una asignatura en 5º de Filología Inglesa;
vemos más en detalle algunas cosas como indico en
este blog. Allí hay más materiales sobre Shakespeare. Uno de los
sonetos que comentamos se puede examinar más despacio aquí: Soneto,
espejo, reloj, bloc y libro.
Objetivos:
El objetivo principal de esta asignatura "Introducción a la literatura
inglesa" es el de proporcionar a los estudiantes conocimientos básicos
sobre la literatura en lengua inglesa, en especial sobre las
literaturas inglesa y norteamericana, así como destrezas para su
comprensión y análisis. Por medio de clases tanto teóricas como
prácticas (enfocadas al estudio de textos representativos de cada época
y contexto cultural)
Evaluación:
Entrega de trabajos (evaluación continua): 1º en noviembre, 2º en
enero. Prueba final en las fechas fijadas por la Facultad para las
convocatorias de febrero y de septiembre.
A) Sistema de evaluación continua:
Examen: 40%. Preguntas sobre los temas y obras tratados en clase, y
comentario de texto. Se valorará la habilidad para definir conceptos;
conocer y explicar datos sobre géneros/autores/ obras; relacionar
temas; y desarrollar interpretaciones personales, en relación todo ello
tanto con la parte más teórica de la asignatura como con la parte
referente a los textos de lectura obligatoria.
- Dos trabajos escritos, a entregar en las fechas previstas durante el
curso: 1) comentario de texto sobre literatura clásica inglesa, 30% 2)
Trabajo grupal sobre literatura inglesa moderna o literatura
norteamericana, 30%. Se valorará la capacidad de comprensión y análisis
y el uso adecuado de herramientas propias del comentario de textos
literarios. Se penalizará el plagio.
Requisito de nota mínima de 4.5 en el examen para mediar con los
trabajos.
Opción B:
Si el alumno/a no entrega trabajos, el examen consistirá entonces en:
preguntas (40%), y además en un tema / comentario de texto (60%). Nota
