This page presents a collection of links to web sites containing course information
and/or the syllabi for Romantics courses -- including courses that extend back into the
long eighteenth century (1660 to 1830) and forward into the nineteenth century
(1). The purpose of this page is
to collect and disseminate state of the art information on teaching courses in Romanticism and
related topics, including how to order noncanonical texts and find online texts for your
courses (detailed in the
Update newsletter).
As discussions on the NASSR Listserv have demonstrated, what and how we teach are subjects
very much open to debate. We hope that looking at the course sites below will help stimulate
ideas for teaching and dicussion among Romanticists about pedagogy, either
on the NASSR Listserv, or among individuals who contact each other by
email about similar or antithetical
pedagogical strategies and content.

A few of the syllabi above, indicated by an asterisk*, were not originally online but have been made into web pages for the sake of sharing them with other Romanticists. At the moment, only elements (names, texts, etc.) appearing in those syllabi indicated by asterisks will show up show up in a search of the Romantic Circles Website because only those are housed at our site. As we gradually acquire for our permanent database copies of syallbi from the course websites pointed to by the links above, they will also become searchable.
