ENG 262 - Special Topics in 19th-Century British Literature


Special Topics in 19th-Century British Literature. For undergraduate English majors, this course satisfies the Poetry (C-1), or the Period (D-2) or the Theory (E) requirement. For English minors, this course counts as a 200-level English course. This course can be repeated with a different topic.


TOPIC FOR S’19: GREATER ROMANTIC LYRIC This course examines the transformation of the lyric poem - particularly the ode - from simple observation or insight into an integration of the human consciousness with the natural world - one of the quintessential developments of the Romantic period. We closely read poems by Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats, from “Frost at Midnight” and “Tintern Abbey” to the “Ode to the West Wind” and “To Autumn”.
