Section Info: FA22 ENGL 207 Justine Murison Romanticism was born out of the French Revolution and flourished in an age of political uprisings. This course will introduce you to this heady, idealistic, and daring movement, a movement that spanned continents and decades and was the backdrop of many of the revolutionary events of the early nineteenth century, including in France, Italy, Greece, and the United States. We will read authors who advocated for revolution and those who recoiled from its tumult and destruction. We will see how Romantic writing flourished in Britain during and in the wake of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, and we will follow this movement to the United States, where it underwrote challenges to the status quo, but especially to the Slave Power. Authors will likely include Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Anna Barbauld, Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, John Keats, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Henry David Thoreau, Herman Melville, David Walker, Frances E.W. Harper, and Frederick Douglass.
