This tutorial focuses on the lives and legacies of several major Romantic poets. Students examine material evidence⏤including drafts, journals, correspondence with friends, collaborators, and publishers⏤to gain a sense of the communities and coteries at the heart of Romantic writing. At the same time, students will explore the development of the Romantic poets' posthumous reputations, their influence on later writers, and their critical heritage. This tutorial also introduces students to the procedures of literary scholarship at an upper-division level.
