Through supported study 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 the 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 Outcomes

- to develop confidence in literary-critical thinking, discussion, and writing;
- to develop a full and close understanding of the particular set texts;
