Section Info:
The early decades of the nineteenth century were marked by what Lee Erickson has called a "poetry boom." Publishers paid surprising sums for books of poetry, and poets became some of the most famous (or notorious) celebrities of the age. This course will explore the history of fiction in the Romantic era, including novels by Jane Austen and Mary Shelley. But we will focus on poetry, striving both to appreciate the poetry of the British Romantic period (1789-1832), and to understand the circumstances that gave poets a new kind of cultural authority. Authors will include Mary Wollstonecraft, William Wordsworth, S. T. Coleridge, John Keats, Lord Byron, Jane Austen, Felicia Hemans, and J. S. Mill. Weekly reading responses, two papers, and two exams.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
