​Beyond the classroom reading list for GOLD College British Poetry, Spring 2019
List 1 for Week 1
Jim Zarzana
Here is a selected bibliography of other writers and works you may be interested in from the Romantic, Victorian, and Early Modern Periods.
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 – 1797)
“A Vindication of the Rights of Woman”
William Wordsworth (1770 – 1850)
“Preface” to Lyrical Ballads
Poems:
“We are Seven”
“Exposition and Reply”
“Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey”
“Michael”
“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”
“My Heart Leaps Up”
“Ode: Intimations to Immortality”
His sonnets. (Will explore some in Week 2.)
The Prelude or The Growth of a Poet’s Mind This is a book-length poem, but there are many editions which have excellent footnotes and explanations.
Dorothy Wordsworth
Selections from her journals
 
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“The Eolian Harp”
“This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison”
“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”
“Kubla Khan”
“Frost at Midnight”
“To William Wordsworth”
Biographia Literaria. This is Coleridge’s philosophical work. Like Wordsworth’s The Prelude, it is book-length. If interested, I would suggest reading a summary.
Sir Walter Scott, try one of his novels.
Jane Austen, any of her novels. Probably Pride and Prejudice is the best.
