Instructor: Lynne Agress, PhD

Brought to you by Odyssey  

January 26, 2026 - March 2, 2026 (6 Sessions) 

Mondays,  6:30PM ET - 8:30PM ET 

Virtual via Zoom

Course Description: In this popular course, we will read, analyze, and discuss much of the poetry (lyric and narrative) and some of the prose of William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. Rebels against convention and the history of that period, these poets' lives were as exciting as their writings. Come prepared to be mesmerized by their evocative and prescient poetry.
