- The poets who have been regarded as the most representative of the Romantic poetry movement are divided into two camps-early and late. The older generation of Romantics begins with William Blake, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The younger generation that succeeds them include Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Keats. They are often called “The Big 6,” but there are more Romantic age poets who are worth reading.

It makes me realise how many gem like verses have we yet to know more about. Though poets like Smith are significantly missing in our regular curriculam, the beauty of their works shines brighter

This era is my absolute favourite!
You are amazing! I could listen to you speaking for hours and hours and hours.
lol the timing is impecable, I just finished a paper or the Romantic Era but i'm always happy to learn more (:
Thank you so much for this lecture! I absolutely loved it!
Adam, your lectures are so great. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for the amazing lecture!
thanks for watching!
Thanks for making me aware of the new Taylor book! I’ve just finished reading a nice set of volumes covering romantic criticism by Wellek as well as Löwy’s excellent study ‘Against the Tide of Modernity”. Enjoying your content, keep it up!
Wellek is superb. I'm not familiar with Löwy, but I probably should be. Thanks!
esse cara é mt divo, serviu dms mona
Some excellent general definitions of Transcendentalism, though personally I prefer the idea of the subject person connecting to the object humanity through some of those ineluctable connections like belief, genetics, and tradition. It is for me a connection of the present to the past and future.
Fantastic Adam.
What a great era that was.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! My favorite era!
I see from the title it is an Introduction.Will you be doing follow up sessions to this? It would be great if so but appreciate there is a plethora of potential areas. I am slowly widening my area to include more diverse poetry forms.I am going to persue Auden and Larkin more. Are these poets you may consider to present on?
I really appreciate and enjoy your sessions. You have an engaging,genuine and spontaneous approach.
Many thanks for your hard work Adam
@@closereadingpoetryPlease see my comments below Adam.
I replied to myself initially😅
@@davidwinston9440 So kind of you to say. Thank you, David! I have four videos in a playlist on the Greater Romantic Lyric published now on CZcams, but next year I'll host separate courses on these specific movements. Probably not in order. May start with Romantics for fun! Auden and Larkin are to come in the Modernist lectures and in the more focused course on Modernism and late modernism next year! kind of you to ask.
I have seen the four videos you mentioned. Thanks
Oh bright star...
Dear Adam,
I was hoping you might recommend any scholarly introductory books into the Romantic Era (to assist reading of the primary sources). I am doing a non-English degree but truly literature owns the lease of my heart. I am hoping to be well acquainted with all of the English poetry cannon by the time I apply for my second degree.
Separately, do you have an email which I could use?
With best wishes,
Dillon
has adam mentioned samuel beckett poetry in any other vids? if not, i would be glad to hear some thoughts about it!
Hello! Can you discuss in your upcoming videos other poems written by William Blake (for example: Proverbs of Hell or some poems from Songs of Innocence and of Experience) and some by Lord Byron?
I really liked the other videos you made and I hope you will consider my request! Thank you!
It's seems pretty romantic to claim that being poorly adapted to an imperfect system raises the question of who is well, and that it is that there are those who have to ask or remark upon this, and that there is some solitary wretch...
Hey Adam, i know you made a video listing all the booka you use at Harvard. But what book would you recommend for learning the in's and out's of poetries history? Im thinking from like Milton-forward... I want to be better versed in expressing the history of poetry.
Strategically skipping over “And fall for lack of moisture quite a dry Bob” I see…
😅 trying to keep it PG. Difficult with Byron!
