This module introduces a range of works from the period 1680-1830. Looking at travel, colonialism, and different constructions of man's natural estate in the early eighteenth century, the module traces the development of these themes into Romanticism's passion for literal and figurative journeys, its revolutionary critique of human enslavement by society, and its fascination with the power of Nature.
