Resources for Students
- I work with graduate students on PhD preliminary exams. I frequently work with students on Romanticism lists, so I provide an example of one of them here. This is not a recipe: use it and work with it in any way you want.
- I also teach many courses on Romantic literature. A bibliography of secondary works–it’s always changing, and I try to post updates–is available here:

Prometheus Now: UIC students writing on Shelley’s drama today
In my undergraduate Romanticism class, students were asked to think about how Prometheus Unbound connected to issues that are important to them in their own lived experience. How is Shelley’s work relevant today? Students were asked to provide the following in their contributions to the discussion. 1. A passage from the text. 2. A brief explanation of the relevance of their passage to their own contemporary context. 3. A link or quotation that can help illustrate the connect to their own context. The students contributed their responses on a discussion board in which they reacted to each other’s work. They also agreed to have their work featured on this site and shared at the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism Conference in Washington DC in August 2024. They are co-authors of this project: Mia Alvarez, Erin Boyle, Lileana Cavallo, Elizabeth Dunn, Sophie Hobbs, Charisma Johnson, Bella Lavalle, Izzy Pokrzwinski, Kelan Scott, Ivan Tedroe, and Sia Patel.
