ENGLISH 205: William Wordsworth and the Shape of Romantic Experience

How did William Wordsworth think differently in different verse forms? This series of seminars will explore the particular kinds of imaginative, philosophical and political experience which Wordsworth made available in blank verse, ballads, sonnets and odes, situating his original expressiveness in the context of other examples of Romantic poetry. We will also consider the relationship between a selection of Wordsworth¿s prose writings and his poetic practice to see how his theoretical thinking ramified in his verse craft and how his broader intellectual ideas were in turn modelled on his poetics.
