English Poetry of the XIX and XX Centuries
Abstract: the objective of this subject is the study of the main movements and authors of English Poetry from the beginning of the XIX century until the present time; and, this webpage contains all the papers I did during this course, where I analyse poems from diverse authors and periods. These papers are listed chronologically and each one is analysed from different points of view, dealing with a wide range of topics. For instance, in reading module 4, I comment on the historical context of The Charge of the Light Brigade, by Lord Tennyson, whereas in reading module 7, I compare two poems where we can observe two opposite perspectives of the World War I.

Self-evaluation: in my opinion, there is a clear evolution in my papers. If we compare the first paper to the last one, we can see that my writing style and the topics chosen, improved considerably during the course. Besides, this course provided me with a wider knowledge of English poetry. Analysing and commenting on poems from a variety of poets such as John Keats, Lord Tennyson, Ezra Pound and Seamus Heaney, helped me to have and to develop my own critical point of view. Sincerely, it is difficult to say objectively the exact mark I deserve but, from my point of view, I would say an A .
