Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
Medieval Romantic, BA Seminar, Department of English, UCC
Carrie Griffin & Mary O’ Connell
This course investigates the influence of the Middle Ages on the Romantic movement. Using Gothic, heroic, pastoral and elegiac works, we will look at how the medieval is inscribed in and re-written by the literature of the nineteenth century. We will also examine aspects of visual culture, literary production and political thinking to demonstrate how aspects of Romanticism were fundamentally retrospective.

Mondays, 2-4 pm, BV6 11
Tuesdays, 10-11am, BV5 G01
Consultations to be arranged.
