Title: Special Studies in the Nineteenth Century: Victorian Poetry and Poetics
Description: A broad overview of Victorian poetry and poetic theory, looking closely at the ways that Victorian poetry questioned and complicated generic categories. Canonical poems by Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Thomas Arnold, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Thomas Hardy, are studied, as well as poetry written as part of various aesthetic movements like the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Students can expect to gain a historical understanding of Victorian poetic forms and historical prosody.
