Inhalt:

Romanticism is perhaps one of the most recognisable intellectual, artistic and literary movements in late 18th-century Europe. In the case of Britain, the movement certainly left a mark on the literature of the time. From England to Scotland and Wales, romanticism could be seen in poetry, novels and plays. The aims of this course is to provide an overview of the movement by characterising and contextualising it as well as by analysing key romantic texts. In order to do so, the course will first put Romanticism into context, that is to say, we shall study Romanticism in relation to its social and historical context, as well as analyse it taking into account the dialogue it establishes with other movements of the time, for instance the Gothic, Realism and the Age of Enlightenment. We shall have a panoramic view into the “origins” and development of Romanticism, from both an artistic and literary stand point as well as a philosophical one. The second and larger part of this course will provide an in-depth analysis of Romantic poetry, for instance with poems by Wordsworth, Burns and Shelley, and later novels by Scott, Austen and other authors.
