ENGL 810 - What is Romanticism

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Between the fall of the Bastille in 1789 and the passing of the First Reform Bill in 1832, Europe experienced unending social and political turbulence, and produced perhaps the first truly international artistic movement: Romanticism. In this course, we will examine the literary and theoretical production of this brief but eventful period, looking as much at the rivalries and disagreements between authors as at their points of overlap. Focus will rest on major British writers (Blake, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, the Shelleys, and especially Wordsworth), but we will also consider marginal or forgotten figures, as well as important continental voices. (Note: English 410 and English 810 are the same course.) For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written after 1800, or a literary theory course. For the English graduate program, this course satisfies the requirement of a course in British literature or a course emphasizing cultural context in the literary studies track or an elective for the writing, rhetoric, and media arts track. 1.00 units, Seminar
