SUMMARY:Gellman Concert Tie-In: Romanticism In Literature with Dr. Rachel Gevlin
DESCRIPTION:For much of the twentieth century\, studies of Romantic-era 
 literature tended to focus on the work of six white male 
 poets—collectively referred to as “The Big Six”—despite the 
 enormous popularity of numerous women writers and writers of color during 
 the period. This talk will focus on the turn toward marginalized 
 Romanticist writers over the past few decades\, with a particular emphasis 
 on poems and novels by and about women of color. In a period marked by 
 heated debates about Britain’s slave trade and its eventual abolishment 
 in 1807\, writers had much to say about one of the most dominant issues of 
 the day\, providing a wealth of literary commentary toward which scholarly 
 attention has only very recently turned. Presented by Dr. Rachel Gevlin.
