Course objectives
The course will look at the main representative writers of poetry, fiction and criticism during the period covered (Blake, Scott, Burns, Wordsworth, Coleridge, the Shelleys, Austen, Byron, Keats) though two later novels by the Brontes (Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre) will also be included.
