PS English Poetry: The Victorian Era
This course will be offered online. The seminar introduces selected poets and themes from the Victorian Age (1837-1901). Close readings of the texts will be seen against the historical and cultural context of the times. Amongst others, we will examine and discuss the works of Alfred Lord Tennyson, A.C. Swinburne, G.M. Hopkins, Christina Rossetti, Matthew Arnold, Thomas Hardy, E.B. Browning and Emily Brontë. The poetry is examined thematically within the contexts of imperialism, ecology, politics, science and industry, religion, family, social reform and the role of women.
