Academic Year 2000/2001
European Romanticism: Origins of Modernity
COL 282 FA
The course will explore the proposition that most aspects of what we call modern or postmodern originated in the Romantic revolution around 1800. To validate this hypothesis we will investigate works of theory,
literature, painting, and music. Special
focus will be on the issues of transgression, the breaking down of borders, and the mingling of forms and genres to access and create new realities.
MAJOR READINGS
Major readings and presentations will include works by W. Wordsworth, J. Keats, J.W. von Goethe, E. Delacroix, T. Gericault, F. and A.W. Schlegel, R. Wagner, and N. Lermontov.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
There will be three papers: two short (6-8 pages) and one longer (12-15 pages).
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed
Drop/Add form to the Registrar's
Office.
