ENGLISH 150 - Wordsworth and the Shelleys

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

The Romantic poets are typically split into two camps: the First Generation (Wordsworth, Coleridge) and Second Generation (Byron, Shelley, Keats). This division exists not only because the latter were born later and died younger, but also because of stark political, poetic and philosophical differences. Our course will examine two poets who perhaps best exemplify the divide: William Wordsworth and Percy Shelley. We shall also read several works by Mary Shelley, particularly Frankenstein and her travelogues.
