English Poetry 18-20C

English Poetry, Romantic to Modern (II)
This course offers an intensive survey of innovations and revolutions in English poetry from late-18th century Romantic poetry through Victorian poetry of the 19th century to the advent of Modern poetry in the early 20th century. We will read poems by Wordsworth, Keats, Browning, Tennyson, Bronte, Hardy, Hopkins, Eliot, and many others. Readings will also include critical and theoretical articles on individual writers and on poetry more generally. We will make a close study of poetic form and technique as well as explore a wide range of central literary themes across the period such as gender, sexuality, imperialism, race relations, and war).
