Class Description

For AUTUMN 2003: An examination of poetry and some prose by selected writers of the "second generation" of English Romantics.

Works by Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, and others will also be studied. Assignments will include an essay, a memorization exercise, a group project involving political cartoons from the Romantic period, and a take-home final. Strictly regular attendance is essential and active participation in class discussion expected.
