The revolution in France had shown that it was possible to redesign human life from the ground up. Some observers saw an age of progress opening; others saw a world without fixed principles or spiritual hope, governed only by selfishness. That uneasy excitement about change is still with us today, and so are the literary forms that writers created between 1789 and 1832 to give shape to their mixed feelings. We will explore gothic horror, the tormented “Byronic” hero (and heroine), the idea of a personal connection to nature, and the idea of “culture” itself. Readings will include poems by Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats and Byron, novels by Radcliffe and Austen, and selections from Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Requirements include active participation, informal weekly writing, two papers, and two exams. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
