Analyzing Romantic Poetry
In this task, you will closely examine a poem from the Romantic period. You will then write an essay that explains the poem by presenting a claim about it and providing an argument to support the claim. Your essay will also include an analysis of how specific elements affect the poem as a whole.

Note from me- Please do each “Part” and keep them separate, including the Part letter and question in the final document.

Part A
Choose one of the following poems:
“The World Is Too Much with Us” by William Wordsworth
“Mutability” by Percy Bysshe Shelley
“This Living Hand” by John Keats
“Work Without Hope” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Which poem did you choose, and what influenced your selection?

Part B
Once you have chosen a poem, read it carefully.
What is the poem’s theme or central idea? How does the author’s use of figurative language or other poetic devices and what effect do those have on the poem? How would you describe the tone of the poem? How would you describe the structure or organization of the poem?
