Bryon, Shelley, and Keats

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course will explore the literary movement known as Romanticism through a survey of three "young Romantics": Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and John Keats. We will devote three weeks to reading the major works of each, which include some of the most gorgeous and idealistic poems in the English language-as well as some of the funniest. (Poetry, 18th/19th)
