OBJECTIVES
This course dedicated to Keats consists of three main sections. The first section deals with the symbolic structure of
the major lyrical poems: “Sleep and Poetry,” the six odes (“Ode on a Grecian Urn,” “Ode on Indolence,” “Ode on
Melancholy,” “Ode to a Nightingale,” “Ode to Psyche” and “To Autumn”) and selected sonnets. The second,
designed as a series of reading group assignments, reviews Keats’s aesthetic opinions voiced in his letters to
George and Georgiana Keats, Benjamin Haydon, J.H. Reynolds and others, and their reflection by both early-
19th-century and recent critics (Paul de Man, Marjorie Levinson, Nicholas Roe, Neil Fraistat, Andrew Bennett,
Jeffrey Cox, Anne Mellor, Jack Stillinger, Susan Wolfson and others). The third section concentrates on the
problems of gender, genre, tradition and sexuality in “The Eve of St Agnes” and “Lamia,” and symbol, narrative and
textuality in the epic fragments of “Hyperion” and “The Fall of Hyperion.”
New secondary material has been added on Moodle from the recently published collection of essays “Keats in
Context” (CUP, 2017), ed. by Michael O'Neill.

PROCEDURE
Sessions will start with short presentations (5-10 minutes) given by students on the texts assigned in the week-
by-week schedule. There will be 2 presentations per seminar, so please keep to the time frame. In the event of
online teaching only, please follow the instructions on Moodle.

ASSESSMENT
Credits will be given on the basis of students’ short presentations, their participation in weekly seminar discussions
and the reading-group assignments, and a final essay (2500 words) whose topic has to be discussed with the
instructor.
Students who sign up for the graded paper (AAALA006B) write 1 long essay (3500-4000 words) for both the course
credit & graded paper – course credits are awarded on submission of long essay outline; the long essay topic has
to be discussed with the instructor.
Erasmus students sign up for the course code ending in E (AAALA006AE), and receive a grade for their
participation in seminar activities and the final essay (2500 words).
