In place of the one-page summary for this week, I′d like a 3-5page analysis of one of the themes we′ve been discussing concerning Romanticism.
This can be an essay on Dorian Gray (NO BOOK SUMMARIES PLEASE),
a more in-depth look at Kant or other Romanticist philosopher′s interpretations of the Sublime,
the development of Gothic beauty,
the role of poetry in Romanticist thinking,
the increasing visibility of women in 18th c. artworld, etc.
Your Umberto Eco readings are a great place to start. Footnotes and a bibliography of sources are required. Please email with questions/themes. (I have more texts, but the files are too large. I cannot upload it. It would help if you searched about Kant′s theory, mostly about Kant′s Sublime.)
