INQ-277 | Burns and the Wordsworths in Context

Topic Description:

This course is designed as an in-depth study of three important Romantic writers: Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, and Dorothy Wordsworth, in the settings that nurtured them. While in the Lake District, London and Scotland, students will be asked what lasting impact, if any have these three and their milieu had? What ideas of Romanticism are still alive today? The course will ask students to apply the questions asked to their own lives to determine the moral and philosophical ramifications of being a product of the late twentieth century. Students will develop at least an initial familiarity with British culture and geography.
