Semester: Fall - 2016

Credits: 3

Description:
19th-Century English Romanticism: Literature in the Age of Revolution

This course will introduce you to the major components of the “Romantic” period: the canonical poets, cultural writings, novels, and minor poets. The texts we will study were produced between 1790 and 1830, an era historian Eric Hobswam refers to as “The Age of Revolution.” The literature of this Age was influenced by a period of unprecedented change: amidst political revolution and decades of counterrevolutionary wars; vast economic expansion and imperialism; social turmoil, including movements against the slave trade, the secondary status of women, and the abuse of the working classes; and, lastly, amidst the questioning of cultural tradition and the cultural marketplace itself. We will consider these texts within this context, but we will also pay attention to their structure—not just what these text relay to readers but how they do it.
Assignments include writing assignments and student-designed research projects.
