Please note that Swedish is not a requirement to take this course.
The course will introduce students to a representative selection of poetry from the British Romantic period (c. 1770-1830). This was a time of profound artistic, social, scientific, and epistemic change which witnessed the birth of 'modern' Europe and inaugurated many of the cultural debates that still preoccupy European society today. Poetry played an important role in both shaping and reflecting these changes and the course will explore the relationship between the poems studied and their wider cultural historical contexts. It will also consider the usefulness of critical terms like 'Romantic' and 'Romanticism' for understanding the literature of the period.
