Cíle předmětu
This course will engage the texts and contexts of the English Romantic Poets, namely Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Special attention will be paid to how various poetical forms are employed for biographical, political, social, cultural, and religious ends. This period is unique for its aspirations as much as its accomplishments, for its conception of the poet as a strikingly prophetic and monumental figure - as Shelley will claim in the last statement of his Defence of Poetry, "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the World."

Metody hodnocení
To augment and deepen our discussion of Romantic poetry, students will be expected to write two essays (for weeks 6 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 6 and 13, navigating their fellow students through the poems they engaged in their essays. There will be no final exam.
