Description: The incomplete ruins - fragments - fascinate us. The course examines how this concern forms in the Romantic Period and how it remains relevant today. It focuses on texts (novels, poems, philosophy, history) and visual art; most sources will be Romantic, some contemporary (e.g. Wordsworth, Volney, Schlegel, Piranesi, Shelley, Burke, Sebald).
