This course will step back in time to look at some British and Irish poets of the late 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries: the Romantics, Pre-Raphaelites, Victorians, and early Modernists and Seamus Heaney. Because the group leader will choose some of her favorite works, as she hass done in previous courses, this will not be a comprehensive view of the selected poets. It is up to class participants to go deeper, and this will be encouraged. The selected verses cover a wide range of subjects and styles to highlight the diversity of poetry in those eras and share common themes of nature, art, love, death and war. All the works should be available online. LIz Cabot is looking forward to class participants’ insights in discussion.
