Your 1st assignment is to study Romanticism in English Literature from the 18^th to the late 19^th century.

In your study you should pay attention to:

      the key figures prominent in the Romantic Movement. 

For example, William Shakespeare, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake;

      the issues/aspects/themes romantic poetry and novels were concerned with;

      the effect the opinions and beliefs of these Romantics – and thus Romanticism – had on society, politics, the economy, the arts and literature.

The effect Romanticism still has on literature in the 21^st century should also be taken into account.

Sign in/up on Glogster at  http://www.glogster.com

Create a presentation/collage in Glogster in which you narrate and/or give a rundown of Romanticism in English Literature between the 18th to the late 19th century.

Keep this information safe, for at the end of this course you will be required to differentiate between historical Romanticism in English Literature and a more contemporary English Literature – with the focus on South African English Literature.

Keep in mind that you have to acknowledge and cite all the sources you have used, for your work will be subject to a plagiarism test.
