Category Description for Year 4: Early Moderns
Year 4: Early Moderns is primarily British literature and spans the Rise of Poetry, Politics, Enlightenment (philosophy based), and Novels (Austen, Dickens, Dostoevsky, and Lewis).

Lewis; The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Note: the poetry selections are generally short: The Solitary Reaper, by William Wordsworth; She Walks in Beauty and The Destruction of Sennacherib, by Lord Byron; Ode to the West Wind, by Percy Shelley; Annabel Lee, To Helen, The Raven, and The Bells by Edgar Allen Poe; The Lady of Shalott, by Alred, Lord Tennyson; Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister, by Robert Browning; Dover Beach, by Matthew Arnold; and Song, by Christina Rossetti. Then, What is Enlightenment? by Immanuel Kant; Letter to Benedetto Castelli and Letter to Duchess Christiana of Tuscany, by Galileo Galilei; Part IV, Discourse on Method, by René Descartes; Laws of Gravity, Sir Isaac Newton; An Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense; Chapter 5, Section VII, VIII; and Chapter 6 Section XX, by Thomas Reid.
