Colonial Romanticism: Canada and the British Romantic Imagination(1780-1832) ENGL 379 (4)
This course explores colonial Canada’s place, historically and imaginatively, in the literature of the British Romantic Period (1770-1830). We will read journals of explorers; tracts by Canadian abolitionists; feminist accounts of settlement, human displacement, and immigration; and legends and memoirs about the ongoing impact of colonization on indigenous people. Our readings will situate Canada within a global historical context, as we study Canadian texts alongside the works of Jane Austen, Anna Barbauld, William Blake, Lord Byron, S. T. Coleridge, Mary Shelley, and William Wordsworth.
