While Romanticism in Europe enjoyed its high period in the first half of the nineteenth century, this upper-level course examines romanticism as a cultural influence with principles that predate 1798, and which reach beyond 1840. While the canonical Romantic writers- Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley and Keats-occupy center stage, thinkers and ideas influencing them and modifying their work are given significant attention, especially neo-classicism, travel literature, the French Revolution, feminism, landscape painters. The course begins with lecture and moves to seminar. Course requirements include a midterm, major project, and a final exam. Prerequisites: Completion of EL 102 Language and Rhetoric and at least one literature course. Three credits.
