Keats, Coteries, & Cockney Adventures in Poetry & Prose 1808 - 1830
Course Number:
ENG00085H
Course Description:
This module looks at the writing of William Hazlitt, Leigh Hunt, John Keats, and Charles and Mary Lamb, among others, in the context of the metropolitan culture of the first decades of the nineteenth century and its response to a rapidly changing literary and political context. Recent scholarship has looked at this group as a ‘coterie’ whose literary production centered on a group identity in ways that questions its traditional designation as the second-generation ‘Romantic’ writers. The module focusses on the inclusivity and exclusivity of the idea of the ‘coterie’ in the context of recent theorisations of social authorship, the group’s relations to The Examiner, and their larger position within a rapidly expanding culture of reviewing and other forms of mediation, via print, lecturing, and exhibitions. There will be a larger consideration of the ris eof magazines in the period, and an opportunity to explore The Examiner, Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine,
