3 Credits

Explore a time (roughly 1780-1830) of great change, political revolution, empire-building, changing economic and sexual relations, and philosophical innovation. Arguably, many of our contemporary notions about literature and what an author is were created during this period. Consider the influence of these changes in such authors as Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron, Godwin, Wollstonecaft, Austen, and more.
