Cilj je kolegija upoznati studente s najznačajnijim pjesnicima engleskog romantizma te povijesnim, kulturnim, političkim i estetskim okružjem u kojem su stvarali i na koje su snažno utjecali. Studenti će imati priliku promišljati i analizirati odabrane pjesme, te će u dijalogu s nastavnikom stvoriti osobno viđenje pjesnika te ideoloških i estetkih implikacija njihove poezije s kraja 18. i prvih desetljeća 19. stoljeća. U tom će im pomoći niz kritičkih tekstova, od (novo)historističkih pa sve do post-strukturalističkih pristupa romantizmu.
