We will discuss the ideas circulating about human rights, gender, and sexuality during the period, and we will end by studying how the incredibly popular gothic novel raises questions of social class and literary taste.Ī note on texts: All of the texts for the class will be available either on Project Gutenberg () or on Canvas. We will then examine Romantic ideas about the relationship between the individual and nature, focusing in particular on how Romantic literature shaped many of the environmental ideas that remain with us today. We will begin by reading a selection of poems that emerge out of the movement to abolish the slave trade and discuss how these poems frame the literature that follows in the turbulent period after the French Revolution (1789). Percy Shelley's claim from his Defence of Poetry that the literature of the Romantic period 'has arisen as it were from a new birth' gives us some idea of how these writers understood themselves to be shaping a distinctive period in literature and history. We will study literature produced by writers energized by the ideas of revolution and the radical Enlightenment: William Blake and Mary Shelley, Phillis Wheatley and William Wordsworth, Mary Wollstonecraft, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and Jane Austen.
