Welcome to the space set aside for posting student responses to the
weekly reading assignments and for making comments on and raising
questions related to those responses and the course readings.
For information on the course, including the schedule of readings and assignments, please go the course web site at http://www.calstatela.edu/faculty/jgarret/560eco/.
Each response is a 500-750 word (about 1-2 page) response to the readings assigned for the week. You can focus on a particular text or texts, raise questions about critical methods, or even connect our reading to current news stories and controversies. Check the syllabus for details on the number of postings required. Check also for information on serving as a weekly discussion moderator.
The first response is to the second week readings (Blake and Wollstonecraft and background on the "Rights of Man" debate) assigned for April 11. For this first response, focus your attention on any aspect of Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, or Wollstonecraft's Vindication. If you prefer you can also write in response to any of the supplemental readings. Consider focusing on what you find interesting, troubling, provocative, or just plain weird and consider your postings as part of our ongoing investigation and interrogations of Romanticism and "nature".
To post on this blog you must be listed as a blog author. If you have (or are willing to create a Google account, send me the email address you use to access your Google account and I will invite you to become a blog author. (If you were enrolled in ENGL 501 in the Fall term (with me!), then you are already an author. Now the only problem is how did you log in?
If you do not have and do not wish to have a Google account, send me an email and I will respond with a generic username/password that you can use to post responses to the blog.
