Learning Outcome Two:
Students, first or second year of undergraduate, will compare and contrast the poetry and writing styles of William Wordsworth and William Blake and their connections to prophecies and the pre 1800 era of literature, and also to one another.
Students will compare the authors considerations of nature as the one and as the divine (considering all texts equal, just for this course, as consideration, if students are uncomfortable doing this they are allowed to withdrawal from course initially). Examples of these different religious texts include the Holy Bible, The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita, The I-Ch’ing, The Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Mayan Prophecies, or any other a student may have in mind. Although this may be controversial, this is only a literature exercise and must be treated as such, otherwise students do have options initially to withdrawal from course. These comparisons and interpretations are in order to understand the political and religious conditions of the past and through the different revolutions through pre 1800’s, the time periods of which both writers were creating different prose, poetry, and stories. Once These simplistic connections are drawn to these sacred and religious texts, the students are to find specific passages from the works of both William Blake and William Wordsworth, and similarities in prophecies intended through the two writers great works. This is only intended as an exercise and is not intended to challenge religious or divine texts of the past.
The students will then draw comparisons to the great old religious texts and the proposed prophecies of two poets various works, and they will explain the connections of Wordsworth and Blake to the great texts that have carried through history to be considered prophecies and students will find the connections and depictions of nature the grandeur throughout all texts considered in order to understand religious literature and to interpret texts considered as prophecies.
