Are you ready for fun and adventure from the land of the English? Welcome to British Literature, a one credit high school English course you can use at home or with a homeschool co-op. We will have a blast reading, writing, and discussing the greatest literature ever written besides the Bible.

Starting with Beowulf and Canterbury Tales, we will time travel through British history by reading well-loved classics like Milton, Chesterton, Dickens, Chaucer, Austen, Sayers, and Doyle. This one credit English course for high school students (or advanced middle school students) with an emphasis on reading for enjoyment. There is lots of reading to do, but no twaddle and no "busy work." Each assignment has an educational purpose. This class will introduce students to the best literature in the world and stir up an appetite for excellence in their reading choices. A brief overview of British History and British Literature is provided, as well as several book lists for further reading.
