This course will cover texts by the most celebrated Romantic poets: Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, but it will also explore authors outside that canonical group and genre: Mary Robinson, William Godwin, William Hazlitt and Charles Lamb, Thomas De Quincey, and James Hogg, among others. And because, as Anne Elliot informs the mournful Captain Benwick in Persuasion,<\/em> people ought to have a steadying \u201callowance of prose\u201d in their readerly diet, we will explore Jane Austen\u2019s Regency novel to counterbalance all the Romantic poetry we are reading. Romantic poetics at once makes a strong demand upon language to transmit world-healing passion and harbors an underlying dread that this demand may prove unfulfillable. We will register both modes of this complex movement, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ACTIVITIES<\/strong>. In class, there will be a mix of lectures, student presentations, whole-class and smaller-group discussion, occasional quizzes, an essay, and a final exam. I encourage questions and comments\u2014class sessions improve when students take an active part. Outside class, do the assigned readings before the relevant discussion dates, complete your journal sets as outlined below, start planning and drafting your essay early, and work on your presentation drafts. In literary studies, the aim is to read and discuss actively and thereby to develop your own voice in response to the texts you read. Insightful interpretation and the ability to make compelling connections are central goals. The essay, discussions, presentations, and journal-keeping should combine to help you work towards these goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n COURSE POLICIES.<\/strong> Please review the course policies page early in the semester since it addresses matters such as attendance, incompletes and withdrawal, late or missing work, and academic integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRESENTATIONS REQUIREMENT.<\/strong> Students will sign up for several (usually three) 3-5-minute informal presentations. On the first day, students will choose authors; I will add specific questions and post a schedule on the presentations page. Each session will feature several presentations and comments by the instructor and other participants. At least two days before you present, contact me to discuss your ideas. (25% of course grade.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n JOURNALS REQUIREMENT.<\/strong> Responses to a choice of questions on each author. Due in class Weeks 4, 8, 13, and Sunday May 28th. Electronic format required. Four separate sets of journal entries will be due on the dates below, preferably word-processed and emailed. Please respond to the specified amount of study questions for each author.
