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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 English poetry|y19th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Romanticism|zGreat Britain. 700 1 Spiegelman, Willard. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Willard, Spiegelman.|tGreat Courses Audio.|sSpoken word ; 830 0 Great courses.|pLiterature & language.|pEnglish literature.|sSpoken word. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13910954?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ grc_2477_180.jpeg
