ENGL 366 - Romanticism in Lit Marketplace

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

English

Description:

During the Romantic Century, 1767-1867, capitalism industrialized the production of literature. Instead of relying on aristocratic patrons, writers harnessed new publication technologies and economies to begin selling books and magazines by the tens of thousands. This course will explore the vibrant culture of Romanticism that blossomed in an international literary marketplace in which professional literary artists both served and created the tastes of a vast new public that was hungry for poems, plays, stories, and ideas. We will encounter texts by a diverse range of writers, including such figures as Olaudah Equiano, William Wordsworth, George Copway(Kagagahgebowh), Jane Austen, Henry Thoreau, Harriet Jacobs, Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson. This course fulfills the Periods and Movements or the Language and Media requirement for English majors.
