This programme will cover the nineteenth-century English literature, with particular emphasis on a cross reading between poetry and essay. Students should relate the three main periods of nineteenth-century English literature, so as to have a prospective interpretation of continuities and ruptures with the literature of the 20th century.
In the end, students should know how to relate 19th century poems and essays so as to understand the evolution of the notion of poetry, as well as the implications on 20th century poetical theories.
