Study Day – no classes.
Ø Pandaemonium. A British production made in 2000. About Wordsworth and Coleridge as young revolutionaries and friends who drifted apart due to drugs and marriage etc. The version of Wordsworth here is a bit slanderous and unfair but it does give you a feeling for the passions of this period and the fervent lives of these poets.
Ø Byron. A BBC production that dramatizes a few years of Lord Byron’s wild life and particularly his death fighting for the Greek independence movement.
Ø Gothic. A bizarre and extreme film by cult director Ken Russell rated R. If you are old enough you can watch this at home. I can’t show the whole thing in public. Set in Byron’s mansion in Switzerland we see the drug-induced party that led to Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein. We also meet her husband P.B. Shelley and her half-sister Claire because the trio just ran away from their “conventional” parents – the radical anarchist William Godwin and the mother of all feminists Mary Wollstonecraft (this fact alone gives you an idea about how radical Shelley was). Most of the film is not literally true but is indeed an interesting vision of the dark side of Romanticism and is based upon actual events. If Wordsworth is slandered in Pandaemonium then Shelley and Byron are slandered in Gothic.
Ø Wuthering Heights. We don’t have time to read a whole novel in this survey. The 1939 Hollywood version stars Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff. Although Emily Brontë's novel was published in 1847 and sometimes counted as “Victorian” it is instead obviously a Romantic novel perhaps “late” romanticism while critic Harold Bloom sees it as High Romantic. Besides I don’t see the end of the Romantic period until the failed revolutions of 1848 in Europe.
Ø A Tale of Two Cities. OK so this is actually based on a Victorian novel by Dickens but of course it looks back to what Shelley called "the master theme of the epoch in which we live" that is the French Revolution of 1789 the high apocalypse of Romanticism. This version is a British TV miniseries from 1989 probably the longest and best adaptation of this novel. The version I have is 3.5 hours so we can’t watch the entire thing in class. My intention is to show you some interesting parts and hope that you watch these films after class.
