Oh jeez, sorry. I dropped you into a jargon-trap. When I say 17th century, I mean Early Modern. Because, at least in my department, Early Modern was divided into 16th century and 17th century, with the 16th century stuff that came before the accession of Elizabeth being lumped into Middle English (I don't know what the department would have done if anyone had actually wanted to study the Henrician poets--there were a couple of them on my prelims list, but they were never ever taught), and everything after 1660 being shoved at the eighteenth-century people. Except Milton, of course.
No, it makes no sense.
So by 17th century, I actually mean 1600 to 1660 (although many people put the cut off at 1642--it depends on how you feel about the Interregnum). I know perfectly well that 1661-1700 is also the 17th century, but I'm so used to the weird usage of my discipline that I forgot it was weird.
(Also--gaaaaah. Asking about student evaluations is not even even in the same ballpark as asking about what you do in the classroom. Hell, it's not even in the same sport.)
