Undergrad Seminar on Neo-Classical Sensibilities

Close on the heels of the Undergrad Seminar on “Revisiting Nature in 19^th Century Poetry – (Romantics/Victorian)” held recently, the Department of English, Shoolini University, invites students of BA Semester VI to participate in another Undergrad Seminar on “Neo-Classical Sensibilities – 18^th Century English Literature.”

Our focus will be on the writers of 18^th Century in England, also known as the Augustan Age or the Classical Age. We are looking for presentations on the writers of the times, their contribution, selected texts, poetic styles, themes, and also the social context.

The aim is to give a platform to young literature enthusiasts where they may be groomed as public speakers and scholars. We are not looking for very scholarly or research-oriented papers. Our aim is to have a meaningful discussion on Eighteenth-Century English Literature and also to ignite the interest of young students in literary discussions.
