EN 206 - Romantic Poetry,Revolution,the Slave Trade and Women's Rights

Institution:

Wagner College

Subject:

Description:

One unit. The fear of revolutionary ideas spreading from France to England, the growing opposition to slavery and the slave-trade, and increasing calls for the redefi nition of women's rights all help to create the social and political contexts for English literature written between 1780 and 1830. Poets of the period respond to these issues and to questions about the workings of the human mind, the power of the imagination and the relationship between people and nature. We will explore these concerns as we study the works of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats and others. Not open to students who have taken EN 306. Offered fall semesters of odd years.
