242 THE ROMANTIC AUDIENCE

242 THE ROMANTIC AUDIENCE
Course Description
A survey of major British romantic poets and their responses to upheavals in printing and marketing practices. Charts how some romantics anxiously try to define their audience, while others find freedom in the unpredictability of address. Lines up fantasies of transmission (such as oral performance, discovered inscription, natural revelation, voyeuristic interception) against actual publication histories. Poets include Blake, Tighe, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Robinson, Clare, Shelley, Keats, Byron, Hemans, and L.E.L.
