520    The verse of the English Romantic poets is as daunting in 
       its scope and complexity as it is dazzling in its 
       technique and beautiful in its language. Now, in a series 
       of 24 incisive lectures by an honored and distinguished 
       teacher, scholar, and author, you can grasp how England's 
       finest Romantic voices created their masterpieces, as 
       Professor Spiegelman illuminates poems by Byron, Blake, 
       Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats, as well as by 
       female Romantic poets like Felicia Dorothea Hemans and 
       Charlotte Turner Smith, who were, in their time, as 
       admired as their male counterparts. You'll learn how the 
       generalizations so often applied to the Romantic poets - 
       who never even identified themselves as "Romantic" - were 
       misleading as a group description, but that there were 
       some common concerns among them: they wrote about Man's 
       relationship to nature, which, with the universe, they 
       considered active, dynamic entities. There is, though, a 
       counter-desire to escape from nature and to deny Man's 
       connection to it. There is a concern with society and 
       politics, and an idealistic notion that humanity can 
       transcend its enslaving traditions. The Romantics were 
       conscious of consciousness itself - of the power of the 
       mind as a force for self-glorification and a seed of self-
       destruction. Professor Spiegelman's emphasis on analyzing 
       the poems is on technique - on how a poem accomplishes its
       objectives - and to this end he meticulously dissects them,
       directing you to points of interest that deserve close 
       observation. And though the lectures focus on the poems 
       themselves, they also tell the story of these great poetic
       souls and their impact on their age.
