OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS |
|
---|---|
Objectives of the Course Unit: | The course will provide an introduction to some of the major trends in English Romantic literature. Romanticism will be situated in relation to the socio-political context of the period (1770-1830) and especially in relation to key events like the French Revolution (1789). The six major poets studied will be William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (first generation), George Gordon, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats (second generation), but we will also consider the role of women authors like Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonecraft in relation to issues such as politics, sensibility, marriage, and women's role. |
Contents of the Course Unit: | Points of focus in the study of the poems will be the central role of imagination, the view of the poet as an especially gifted and important member of society, the relation between the individual (poet) and the natural environment, the political radicalism of many Romantic poets, and the Romantic sublime. The Gothic novel and other prose writings will be analysed as responses to the political and social changes of the period as well as examples of specific literary genres. |
