- History of English Literature starts at the beginning of English Literature with the pagan oral traditions and moves through to the development of the English novel and pre-Romantics.
- Culture of English Speaking Countries (England and USA) focuses on how elements of culture as presented through stories mold a particular type of culture in common as well as divergent among the English and Americans.

Ignore this platform. This is not the one we will use. Dr. Johnson
The seminar focuses on how close reading of a primary book can begin to solve mysteries in society, culture, politics, and all manner of human relations.
The course is a rather exciting one because it covers the development of various concepts (such as: liberty, personal freedom, economic stability, land ownership, class and racial social importance, religious and magic significance, concepts of justice, children's games, adult pastimes, and many other significant aspects) typical in some ways to England first, and then in variations, to the United States. The stories begin with the pre-history of England and finish with the story of the Black Movement Emergence in the USA. Although there is only some slight coverage of other English language countries, the concepts covered are significant towards understanding all countries. The course deals with the stories that form the culture of the countries studied.
The first year of History of English Literature begins with Old English and finishes the first semester with Shakespeare. The second semester begins with Shakespeare and ends with the Pre-Romantics and the beginning of the English novel. The key periods and authors are many and diverse because the course covers centuries upon centuries of English literature as well as significant aspects of English history as regards literature.
