- Contents
- Many contemporary cultural concepts, e.g. the notion of literature as an expression of an author's unique emotions, the idea of childhood as a state of innocence and the understanding of nature as a realm that facilitates self-recognition and pleasure, derive from Romanticism, an artistic movement that prevailed in Europe from the late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Following the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, the Romantics challenged rationalism and industrialisation by emphasising spontaneity, emotions and individualism. In this seminar, we will take a closer look at this period by examining selected poetry and prose of the so-called 'Big Six' (William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron), of various female writers (e.g. Charlotte Smith and Mary Shelley) and of lesser-known authors (e.g. John Clare). We will also analyse and contextualise examples of visual and material culture and scrutinise which different roles gender, class, race and age play during the period. Among the literary works that we will discuss in this seminar are Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads (1798) and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818).
