Romanticism Readings

I will lecture on Romanticism Tuesday, but you can start reading the poems in your anthology over the weekend. Additionally, work on your original poem this weekend. You need to include a paragraph analysis of your poem where you objectively and analytically examine three literary devices and their connection to meaning in your poem. Language such as "the writer used personification to glorify the meaning of autumn in the poem" is appropriate. No first person "I used this device" etc.

Romanticism Readings/may or may not be in both texts, you can then read them online:

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe: “Nature and Art”

William Blake Poems:

v  “The Clod & the Pebble

v  “The Lamb”

v  “The Tyger”

v  “The Garden of Love”

Robert Burns: “A Red, Red Rose”

William Wordsworth: “The world is too much with us”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge: “Kubla Khan”

George Gordon, Lord Byron: “She Walks in Beauty”

Percy Bysshe Shelley: “Ode to the West Wind”

John Keats:

v  “When I have fears”

v  “Ode to a Nightingale”

Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Concord Hymn”

Edgar Allan Poe: “To Helen”

Enjoy your extended weekend!
