English Romanticism
English Romanticism
Beginning with the poetry and visual art of William Blake and continuing through William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, John Keats, and Percy Shelley, this course will consider the major poetic figures in the Romantic period (1789-1832). We will also read selected prose from the period, including works by De Quincey, Hazlitt, and Mary Shelley. In conjunction with the close reading that such extraordinary literature demands, we will explore themes like gender, nationalism, and revolution (both poetic and political). 3 hrs. lect./disc.
