Comment/Description

The Long Eighteenth Century is characterised by remarkable developments in poetic form, diction, style, and subject. At the same time, through various philosophical and political shifts, attitudes towards nature, and the relationship between humans and nature changed significantly. In this seminar, we will explore how poetry is transformed in the transition from neo-classicism to Romanticism, and we will consider these aesthetic changes in relation to the representation of nature.
