ENG-344 English Romantic Literature
In this course we will read widely in the poetry and prose of the Romantic Period (1780-1830), including the work of well-known Romantic poets such as Wordsworth, Byron, and Keats as well as other important authors including Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley, Charlotte Smith, and Olaudah Equiano. We will place the influential works of these authors in the context of their turbulent historical period and their often-dramatic lives, considering what Romantic literature has to tell us about the individual, scientific advancement, the environment, social justice, and the act of authorship itself.
