Description
This course introduces students to literature and culture of the Romantic period (1789-1832). The course not only considers Romanticism as a complex response to a shared set of literary and philosophical anxieties, but also focuses on the interplay between the socio-political concerns of the Romantic period and the literature that the period produced. Touching on topics as contentious as the French Revolution, women's rights, and the slave trade, the course examines the ways in which issues of nationality, race, and gender shaped the work of many of the most influential men and women writers of the day.
