The human dress is forged iron, Starting with Wordsworth's “Preface“ to the second edition of the Lyrical Ballads (1800), the course offers an introduction to the six key Romantic poets (Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats, Byron) and significant female poets (such as Anna Laetititia Barbauld) as well as to the literary and cultural climate from which they emerged. The emphasis will be on the Romantic opposition between organism and mechanism, the rejection of rationalism, the reaction to the industrial revolution, and the attitude towards nature, childhood, and social outsiders.
