GMALL Presents: Poetry Roundtable – English Romantic Poetry

October 10 @ 2:00pm-3:30pm

$75

Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) is happy to welcome back Bill Freedman to lead this study of English Romantic poets. Periods of aesthetic history rarely exist in isolation. They often emerge in response to what came before. The Romantic era, lasting from roughly 1770 to 1848, exemplifies this trend. The Romantics were self-consciously aware of themselves as parts of a movement, aware that theirs was a period of flux and revolution; a period of organic change and growth, and a movement against the values and practices of their predecessors in the neo-Classical Age of Reason. The emphasis in this course will not be on history, biography, subsidiary trends, movements and the like. Instead, we will work through close, often line-by-line readings to understand individual poems by Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, and perhaps Byron, and appreciate their power, depth, and richness. This workshop will take place on Thursdays, October 10, 17, 24, 31, November 7 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm via Zoom. Registration is $75 for the five-part workshop. For more information or to register, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.
