Clark E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: CNH 210, Friday 12:30 pm-1:30 pm. T.A. Ms. Stephanie Edwards E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: CNH 203, Thursday, 5:30 pm-6:30 pm. Class time: Thursday, 7:00-10:00 pm Classroom: CNH 106 Dr. David L. Clark / English and Cultural Studies 3WE3E !2 Brief Course Description: Arguably no moment in cultural and literary history is more momentous, complex, and consequential than the period that we now know as “Romanticism,” i.e., the tumultuous efflorescence of literature, politics, science, and culture that begins with the French Revolution in 1789 and more or less subsides when the forces of reaction and conservatism reassert themselves in decade following the world-shaking violence of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1792-1815). Romanticism is a period that sees the emergence of modern forms of a wide range of elemental cultural phenomena that are familiar to us today. These include the invention of finance capitalism and the nation-state, as well as the birth of the bourgeoisie, mass consumption, the addict, the insurgent, the unconscious, and the public sphere. It is the period that sees the emergence of total war, war whose object is not only victory on the battlefield but also the outright extermination of the enemy. Not unlike our own times, it is an age of burgeoning global Empire and piercing critiques of Empire. It is also the period that bears witness to the full integration of slavery into the British economy and the emergence of robust political resistance to the traffic in human beings. Feminism and animal rights, as well as experimental science and the modern university, as we understand these terms today, also find their genesis in the Romantic period. During the last half of the eighteenth century, philosophers like Immanuel Kant make bold claims for the centrality of the faculty of reason, while artists of the sort that we study in this course make an analogously strong case for the significance of combining reason with imagination, emotion, and affect in an attempt to do justice to individuals and communities. Romanticism also marks a period of intense interest in both the powers and the limits of language, figures, media, and representation, coupled with a complex self-consciousness about the role of the imagination and creativity in transforming human life. It is perhaps the first moment in literary history in which the psyche is acknowledged as possessing obscure depths worthy of worry and detailed exploration. Experimentation and self-revision are the order of the day, even and especially in the midst of an increasingly conservative social and political setting. Romanticism is an historical conjuncture that brims with surprises, some remarkable and affirming, others horrible and deleterious. It is a moment in cultural history that is characterized by literary practices that are as volatile and complicated as the society in which they are born and which they address--often in sharply dissenting ways. The objective of this course is to provide students with a good working knowledge of British Romanticism through an analysis of a selection of representative texts by men and women of the period. These texts include: poems, paintings, political pamphlets, autobiographies, and novels. Authors assigned in the course include: Felicia Hemans, Mary Shelley, Thomas Clarkson, Ottobah Cugoano, William Blake, John Keats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Jane Austen, Thomas de Quincey, and William Wordsworth. Students are reminded that because this class meets but once a week, missing a class is equivalent to missing an entire week’s worth of classes. We have but twelve working classes, so missing even two classes will make thriving in the course much more difficult. So it is important to do everything that you can to attend class and to make arrangements to attend the entire class each time its meets. Some of you may be holding down jobs or have roles as parents and care-givers that may well take you away from class. That’s perfectly understandable. But do make a concerted effort then to obtain good lecture notes from classmates if you miss classes. In the past, students have created self-administered social media forums to facilitate note-sharing as well as discussions about the course. It’s important to bring the assigned materials to class since I will refer directly to their fine-grained details and discuss those details. That means printing off the assigned poems (for links to those poems, see the relevant links below under the heading “Links for Assigned Poems”) and bringing them those pages to class, as well as purchasing the assigned texts by Shelley, Clarkson and Cugoano, Austen, and De Quincey. In order to bring the total cost of the assigned texts down, Broadview Press has bundled those texts together. Dr. David L. Clark / English and Cultural Studies 3WE3E !3 Required Texts: Selected poems by Barbauld, Blake, Coleridge, Hemans, Keats, and Wordsworth are available using links provided under the heading “Links for Assigned Poems.” To enable the links (i.e., make them live), click on the Course Outline in Avenue, then click the download arrow at the bottom right of the screen.

There are two due dates for that essay: --at start of class, 22 March 2018; or in class, at start of class, 5 April 2018. You choose which due date suits your needs best. Essays submitted by the first due date will receive a full marking commentary. Essays handed in by the second due date will be graded exactly the same but without comment. No essays will be accepted after the start of the last class of the term. A grade of zero/F will therefore be assigned to essays not submitted by the 5 April 2018 due date. Since the essay is weighted heavily in this course, students are encouraged not to leave working on this assignment until late in the term. Suggested essay topics will be posted on Avenue. You are strongly encouraged to discuss and develop your essay topic with either Dr. Clark or the course T.A., Stephanie Edwards.

In this short editorial coda, I cannot do justice to all of the responses, even though each is valuable and instructive. I should like, first of all, brieflyto review each contribution. In the remainder of what I have to say, I shall then respond in more general terms about the nature of the overall project of reading his- torical women philosophers as part of the republican tradition, with the aim of tackling what I consider to be some misconceptions. In so doing, I will address myself mostly to Karen Green’s[2021] article which is the most sceptical about the endeavour, although I shall also engage with Lena Halldenius [2021].

For Click here for a PDF version. Reviewers Click here to buy the book on Amazon. About Us Masthead This book could have begun with a variant of my favorite opening line--from Steven Shapin's The Scientific Revolution (1996): "There was no such thing as [Romanticism], and this is a book about it." As Gay's prologue notes, "if there were Feedback German romantics and French romantics, they did not start from the same initial impulse, did not develop the same cultural expressions in their literature and their art" (xii-xiii). Proposing, then, to talk of romanticisms--the plural is used throughout the book, as in most discussions of romanticism(s) these days--he treats the movement as a "large . far-flung family" (19) rather than as homogeneous. Gay nonetheless finds certain shared preoccupations, primarily in French and German literature, visual art, and music between the late eighteenth century and the mid-twentieth century. Peter Gay died at 91 in 2015, the year this book was published. Not surprisingly, since his thirty-some previous books have covered Weimar, Freud, the Enlightenment, and Modernism, a good deal of this new book highlights modernity and modernism with some glances back at the eighteenth century. Thus he tacitly argues that the romanticisms he explores not only emerged from the Enlightenment but also persisted well into the twentieth century. As Gay concludes in a brief epilogue, twentieth-century novelists, poets, composers, painters, dramatists, and architects "lived off the [romantic] past" (116), suggesting that modernity is a cluster of romanticisms under a different name.

  • Anna Laetitia Barbauld
    Anna Laetitia Barbauld Avery Simpson “The dead of midnight is the noon of thought” (Barbauld, “A Summer Evening’s Meditation”) By Richard Samuel, “Portraits in the Characters of the Muses in the Temple of Apollo” (1778) Early Life Born on June 20, 1743 in Leicestershire, United Kingdom to Jane and John Aikin. Her mother served as her teacher in her early years, and her father John was a Presbyterian minister and leader of a dissenting academy. Because of her father’s job, Anna had the opportunity to learn many subjects deemed “unnecessary” for women to know, such Latin, Greek, French, and Italian. At age 15, her father accepted a position at Warrington Academy, which proved influential in her life and writing career. While at Warrington, Anna established lifelong friendships such as philosopher Joseph Priestley, and French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat. Most of Barbauld’s early poems and writings were written during her time at Warrington Academy. Adult Life and The Palgrave Academy In 1773, Barbauld published her first collection of poems titled Poems. Married May 26th, 1774 to Rochemont Barbauld. Shortly after their marriage, the two opened the Palgrave Academy. Adopted her brother’s 2nd son, Charles. She became a well-known author in children’s literature, after writing her four volume work Lessons for Children. The Palgrave Academy was a great success and drew boys from as far away as New York. “Anna Letitia Barbauld” by John Chapman (1798) The Barbauld’s left the academy in 1785. Later Life Anna became a well-known essayist writing about topics such as the French Revolution, the British government, and religion.

  • Women Poets in Romanticism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by International Burch University 1st International Conference on Foreign Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics May 5-7 2011 Sarajevo Women Poets in Romanticism Alma Ţero English Department, Faculty of Philosophy University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina [email protected] Abstract: In Bosnia, modern university literary courses usually do not even include Romantic women poets into their syllabuses, which is a huge shortcoming for every student interested in gender studies as such. That is why this paper focuses on the Romantic Era 1790s-1840s and those women who had broken out of their prisons and into the literary world of poetry. Many events, such as the French Revolution, political and social turbulences in Britain, rising female reading audiences, and public coteries have influenced the scope of women poets‘ development and reach. Due to great tensions, male and female Romantic poetry progressed in two contrary currents with opposite ideas regarding many a problem and issue. However, almost every Romantic artist at that time produced works of approval regarding social reforms. Women continued writing, which gained them greater acknowledgment and economic success after all. Poets such as Charlotte Smith and Anna Barbauld were true Romantic representatives of female poets and this is why we shall mostly focus on specific display of their poetic works, language, and lives. Key Words: Romantic poetry, Women poets, Charlotte Smith, Anna Barbauld Introduction The canon of British Romantic writing has traditionally been focused on the main male representatives of the era, which highly contributed to the distortion of our understanding of its literary culture.

  • The Romantic Poetry Handbook
    The Romantic Poetry Handbook This comprehensive survey of British Romantic poetry explores the work of six poets whose names are most closely associated with the Romantic era – Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Keats, Byron, and Shelley – as well as works by other significant but less widely studied poets such as Leigh Hunt, Charlotte Smith, Felicia Hemans, and Letitia Elizabeth Landon. Along with its exceptional coverage, the volume is alert to relevant contexts, and opens up ways of understanding Romantic poetry. The Romantic Poetry Handbook encompasses the entire breadth of the Romantic Movement, from Anna Laetitia Barbauld to Thomas Lovell Beddoes and John Clare. In its central section ‘Readings’ it explores tensions, change, and continuity within the Romantic Movement, and examines a wide range of individual poems and poets through sensitive, attentive, and accessible analyses. In addition, the authors provide a full introduction, a detailed historical and cultural timeline, biographies of the poets whose works are featured, and a helpful guide to further reading. The Romantic Poetry Handbook is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate students of British Romantic poetry. It will also appeal to those with a general interest in poetry and Romantic literature. Michael O’Neill, is Professor of English at Durham University, UK. He has published widely on many aspects of Romantic literature, especially the work of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Victorian poetry, and an array of British, Irish, and American twentieth- and twenty-first-century poets. His most recent book is, as editor, John Keats in Context (2017). He has also published three volumes of poetry.
