EL1004:03

The Romantic Vision

[Not offered in 2004]

Cairns

HECS Band 1

12 hours lectures, 24 hours tutorials. Semester 1.

Staff:

Dr R Lansdown.

Through supported study and classroom discussion of some major writers of the Romantic period in England (1790-1830), this subject examines not just the poetic and fictional styles of the period, but the lasting changes in attitude of which they were a result: changes in attitude which have shaped the way many of us think and live today. To understand Romanticism is, in part, to understand ourselves.

Learning Objectives:

to attain a good understanding of what literary studies involve at university level;

to develop confidence in literary-critical thinking, discussion and writing;

to develop a full and close understanding of the particular set texts;

to gain a fair realisation of what the Romantic era was as a whole and what its legacy has been in historical and cultural terms, but in aesthetic and moral terms, too.

Assessment by essays (50%); tutorial participation (20%); examination (30%).
