A study of the British Romantic movement in an age of amazing, blazing revolutions (political rights, the abolition controversy, literary “modernism”): the lively literary culture, its variety of genres, its cultural milieu, the interactions of its writers. Major figures Wollstonecraft, Blake, Equiano, Prince, Wordsworth, and Coleridge, De Quincey. Two 80-minute lecture/discussion seminars. Reading, rereading, and close reading will be our immersive adventure.
