232. Romantic Reveries and Revolutionary Visions  What has the
British Romantic legacy of writers like Wordsworth and Keats,
Coleridge and Shelley left us? How did they grapple with their
revolutionary ideals as well as their own historical
circumstances? We will critically and culturally examine their
poetic exploration of the mind in all its psychological
complexities, the political dimensions of their lyric assertions
and the images that still seem to affect our contemporary
culture.
