Approaching Literature:
Romantic Writings
A210B
consists of only one block; the Romantic Period. This block explores
the cultural and historical significance of the Romantic period in both
Britain and Europe, using a wide range of poetry and prose from the
period 1780–1830. The role of the Romantic artist, Romantic allegory,
colonialism and the exotic, and women writers and readers in the
Romantic period are among the issues raised in the book, Romantic
Writings, which forms the basis of your study. The literary texts
studied include works by well-known English Romantic writers: William
Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, Percy Bysshe
Shelley, Lord Byron and John Keats. A range of poetry by women writers
is used as the discussion ‘text’ to examine the issue of gender in the
Romantic Movement and the Romantic period. Study of two prose texts –
Heinrich von Kleist’s The Betrothal on Santo Domingo and E.T.A.
Hoffmann’s The Sandman – adds European and prose perspective on these
issues.
