Shall we go to the play?
|
Both these plays are products of the Romantic Era. If you want to, you can write a short paper on them for 5%.
In your paper, show how the ideas and concerns of that era still speak to us today (or how they they show how different that time was!). The theatre department could have chosen any play, what do you think it means that they choose these ones which are based on books that are more than 100 years old? Make sure you take a selfie (*not* during the show!!) to show that you were there. I was there May 15th and it was a good time! I also tried to get us a group rate , but I left it a little late, so I don't know if it happened. If you buy your ticket at the door you can ask if your name is on the list for the $8 group rate. If you want to get your ticket in advance for the regular student price of $10 : https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4218511 https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4218500 |
Lord Byron wants you to see the Essay Questions
Get ready for the final test
|
Know major ideas and concepts for each chapter.
Ex. Ask yourself: “What is ‘Protest and Reform’ about?” Who is protesting? What are they protesting? What needs reform? What are examples of art/literature from this period? Compare major ideas (“How is the Romantic view of the world different from that of the Protestant Reformation?”) Chapter 18: Africa, the Americas, and Cross-Cultural Encounter Chapter 19: Protest and Reform: The Waning of the Old Order Chapter 20: The Catholic Reformation and the Baroque Style Chapter 21: Absolute Power and the Aristocratic Style Chapter 22: The Baroque in the Protestant North Chapter 23: The Scientific Revolution and the New Learning Chapter 24: The Promise of Reason Chapter 25: The Limits of Reason Chapter 26: Eighteenth-Century Art, Music, and Society Chapter 27: The Romantic View of Nature Chapter 28: The Romantic Hero Chapter 29: The Romantic Style in Art and Music HINT: We covered 12 chapters. Here is a good trick: Chapters 24-26 are all about the Enlightenment. Chapters 27-29 are all about the Romanticism. So lump those together and you only have 8 things to study. Here is a summary of what we have covered. |

5% Homework for Monday:
Read about Ibn Batutta and Native American cultures in 18.
Your job: Ibn Battuta spent his whole life travelling, but he never got to visit the New World. Your assignment is to write a letter to Ibn Battuta to convince him to visit one of the New World Cultures (Haida, Hopi, Inka, Aztec...). This obviously involves a time machine since Battuta is dead and many of these cultures reached their height at times other than when he was alive. Add parenthetical citations for every bit of information you include! Bibliographic entries at the end of your text look like this: Author’s Last name, First name. “Title of the Article or Individual Page.” Title of the Website, Name of the publisher, Date of publication, URL. Marks are for completeness, correctness, originality and creativity. (Aim for 10-12 important points.) NOTE: You are not limited to doing the Indigenous groups that are addressed in the chapter. If there is another Native group you would prefer to research, go for it! |
