LITERARY CRITICISM OF THE ROMANTIC PERIOD

AUTOEVALUATION:

From my personal point of view, I have found this subject, in terms of periods and authors on the first hand, and in terms of acquiring competence for the use of new technologies (Internet) on the second hand, both very interesting. Thus, I consider that my implication on the subject in both aspects has been notable, which I see reflected in my papers and in this web page. Then I would mark myself with a ‘B’.
