Description
'I wandered lonely as a cloud...'William WordsworthWould you like to put this famous poem and many others into context? This course is here to help you gain a firm understanding of an important period in the development of English literature.Did you read any romantic poetry at school? Perhaps you are interested in the lives and works of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, Shelley and their circle or maybe you want to understand their place in history. In their generation, the world was changing so fast it was barely recognizable due to the French Revolution and Enlightenment philosophy.I'm Eve Williams and I hold undergraduate and Master's degrees in literature from the prestigious Queen's University of Belfast. I also lecture at Belfast's C.S. Lewis Festival. I'm going to be your guide to this fascinating period of literature. You will discover and rediscover some texts which revolutionised English literature.The texts on the course reading lists are mostly available for free on Project Gutenberg and poetry websites so there are no hidden costs to participation.Enroll today and like Wordsworth, '[find] your heart with pleasure fills/And dances with the Daffodils'.I'm looking forward to joining you on the course.
