COURSE MODIFICATION
Originator	Melissa Gregory, x4915, mailto:melissa.gregory@utoledo.edu
College	Arts and Sciences
Department	ENGLISH
	PRESENT	PROPOSED
Alpha Code	ENGL 4520/5520
Title	British Literature: The Victorian Age	British Literature: The Victorian Period
Hours	3
Pre-/Co-requisites	None
Catalog Description	Extensive reading in the poetry of Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, and Hopkins and in the prose of Carlyle, Ruskin, Arnold, Pater and Wilde. Recommended: ENGL 2730, 2800, or 3790.	Study of major authors, genres, and ideas of the Victorian period: approximately 1837 to 1901.
Reason for Change	(1) The revised description of ENGL 4520 brings it in line with the revised description of ENGL 4500. (2) The current course description for ENGL 4520 is inaccurate because the writers mentioned do not necessarily comprise the bulk of the course (although they are included) and outdated (because, for instance, Victorian scholars have for some time considered Elizabeth Barrett Browning to be as significant as her spouse; hence, the revised course description eliminates the reference to "Browning" as if there were only one). (3) Recent scholarship in the Victorian period has dramatically increased the availability of a wide range of exciting Victorian texts; the revised course description, which allows for greater flexibility overall, better accommodates current anthologies and critical questions.
