ENG 462 - Seminar: Romantic Radicalism

Instructor
Vaz

For William Godwin, truth, if it exists, comes about in the “collision of mind with mind.” In this seminar, we will investigate and interrogate how Romantic literature manifests this “collision” by creating and participating in the aesthetic, economic, and socio-political tectonic shifts of the period. By doing so, we will examine how Romantic literature intersects with the richness and complexity of the period’s radical and revolutionary thought.
