| Content | This is designed as a follow-up to Prof. Habermann's survey lecture "Romantics to Victorians" (course no. 21764) but can be profitable also without this background. Students will read, discuss and read aloud from a selection of essential texts mentioned in the lecture (focusing on Romantic rather than Victorian poetry and prose). |
| Learning objectives | First-hand reading experience in print (the original medium of the discussed works) of seminal 'Romantic' and not-so Romantic texts from 1790-1830, and discussion. |
| Bibliography | We will dedicate one meeting to every text or group of texts and participants will be required to use and bring along a paper edition of each. Contact r.hohl@unibas.ch for the definitive reading list from early January. Most of the set poems will be contained in various editions of the "Norton Anthology of English Literature" (volume 2 of the two-volume Seventh and Ninth editions or volume D of the Eighth Edition). Other materials will be made available on ADAM for printing out. For participants who are looking to build a personal library, the reading list will suggest paperback "Selected Works" or "Complete Works" that are well worth buying. In any case, participants will be required to bring paper copies of the following books (which every serious student of Eng. Lit. should own anyway!), in any edition: - Jane Austen "Northanger Abbey" - Mary Wollstonecraft "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" - William Godwin "Caleb Williams" - Mary Shelley "Frankenstein" - Jane Austen "Emma" Viewing the excellent film version of Jane Austen's (anti-)Romantic novel "Sense and Sensibility" (by Emma Thompson, dir. Ang Lee) will provide a relaxed conclusion to the course; reading that novel in preparation will enhance the enjoyment of watching the film but is not mandatory. |
