Course objectives
The English Romantics up to the 1990s tended to be classed into two all-male groups, namely those of the first generation (mainly Wordsworth and Coleridge) and those of the second generation (P.B. Shelley, Keats and Byron). These 'canonical five', however, need to be seen in a much wider context which includes a considerable number of women poets. This two-week seminar provides the opportunity to participants to familiarise themselves with this wider scope of Romanticism. Wordsworth who is also indebted to his female colleagues can be shown to be profoundly influenced by Rousseau and even Immanuel Kant, and S.T. Coleridge devoted much of his later life to the study of German Idealism. No more than a slight attempt can be made in this seminar to point out the intellectual indebtedness of English Romantics to Continental thought. Its main emphasis indeed will be on the poetry and prose of the English Romantics themselves. Those who consider participating in this intensive seminar may wish to contact the convenor by e-mail, as some of the course materials are available in the internet and could (quite legally!) be passed on to participants in manageable chunks. Other materials will be handed out either prior to the seminar or in the first session.
