For Wednesday: Intro to Romantic Poetry (Blake)

For Wednesday we'll be reading a few short Blake poems in class: “The Tyger,” “The Garden of Love,” “London,” and “A Poison Tree”.  You don't need to read these before class, since the goal of tomorrow's class will focus on approaches to reading poetry, esp. Romantic poetry.

For those interested in the poems, here is a link that shows you the artwork Blake produced for each poem: he was as visionary an artist/illustrator as a poet, and some people know him even better as an artist: http://www.blakearchive.org/exist/blake/archive/copy.xq?copyid=songsie.b
