This
course will examine some of the great literary monsters, witches,
vampires, and specters of the Romantic period and beyond. We will
seek to understand how these creatures issuing from the dark recesses
of the human imagination variously define and challenge what it means
to be humanand the Romantic phobias, fears and repressions they
come to represent-- in works by Mary Shelley, S.T. Coleridge, Percy
Shelley, John Keats, R.L. Stevenson, and Bram Stoker. |
