Our unit on William Blake will focus on European literature of the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Century. Themes related to nature as well as "natural" forms and language will be considered.  Philosophical ideas considering questions of free will, fate, human conflict and loss will be explored. We will have seminar discussion questions relating a philosophical question to a particular text.  You will have an appreciation for some of the tendencies of early romanticism after this unit. 

Homework:  Due 2/9.  Open the William Blake document and research information about William Blake and other Romantic writers of this period.
