Politics, Aesthetics, Genre, Gender
The Writings of William Wordsworth
SE I
In this seminar, we shall be studying — by way of close readings — a broad range of poetry spanning the early modern period to the twenty-first century and poety in the digital age. Questions of form (what is metre? etc.) and (sub)genre (e.g., the sonnet, or the locodescriptive poem) will be addressed, just as issues of poetic self-representation or poetic expression and experience, and gender. The aspect of performance and reading will also come into play.
A reader with course material will be available on Moodle.
SE II
In tandem with the overview seminar listed above, this course aims at exploring the poetry of the Romantic period in greater detail, covering both the canonic poets Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, as well as minor and neglected voices, among them texts by women poets. We will thus explore a broad range of critical issues such as Romantic subjectivity and the concept of the imagination, the politics of the Romantic engagement with nature, and the gendering of authorship.
