Cíle předmětu

This course will engage the texts and contexts of the English Victorian Poets, namely Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, the Pre-Raphaelites, the Aesthetes, and Hopkins. Special attention will be paid to considering how various poetical forms are employed for biographical, political, social, cultural, and religious ends. This period - often referred to as the "Second English Renaissance" - is particularly memorable for its masterful novels (culminating in the grandeur of James), though its poetry is no less deserving of praise (culminating, as it does, in the grandeur of the Jesuit Hopkins and the Irish Yeats). One objective of this course will be to trace the unbroken poetical line that reaches from Romanticism to Modernism, from Blake to Yeats (who edited the first standard edition of Blake's poetry). Required Materials: The Norton Anthology of English Literature, 6th edn., vol. 2 (New York: Norton, 1993); A Companion to Victorian Poetry (Oxford: Blackwell, 2002), available in ELF system.

Metody hodnocení

Grading To augment and deepen our discussion of Victorian poetry, students will be expected to write two essays (for weeks 7 and 13). Each essay (4 pages, typed, double-spaced) should have a well-crafted thesis, should be scholarly in tone, and should endeavor to support all claims textually through the materials listed below. At the end of the course (week 12), students will have the option to resubmit the first essay after my corrections, though substantial changes (in more than grammar and such technicalities) will be needed to raise the earlier grade. Students will also be expected to lead discussions on weeks 7 and 13, navigating their fellow students through the poems they engaged in their essays. There will be no final exam. Final grades will be divided in the following proportions: 30% for attendance and class participation; 30% for the first essay; 40% for the second essay. A final grade of 70% will be necessary to receive credit for this course.
