Title: Seminar in English Lit
Course Section Number: ENG-497-01
Department: English
Description: The Younger Romantics: Byron and the Shelleys This course will examine the lives and literary works of three authors from the British Romantic period: Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Mary Shelley. In the early nineteenth century, Lord Byron was a celebrity among poets. Along with Percy and Mary Shelley, the three formed an important "literary circle" that contributed much to British Romanticism and the canon of literature more generally. We will focus on the major works they produced and examine the highly scandalous lifestyles they led in order to develop a deeper understanding of their significance to English literature. In addition to literature, this course will expose students to different critical and theoretical frameworks as well. Course assignments will include short reading quizzes, a group oral presentation, several papers, and a final capstone project.
