A brief introduction to Pre-Raphaelite poetry and painting: the perceptual psychology that it brings us to notice. A close reading of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's amazing "Woodspurge." A little bit on his "Blessed Damozel," followed, via a Mr. Magoo-inflected reading of Lewis Carroll's "Mad Gardener's Song," by a more general consideration of rhyme and in Victorian poetry and the question of its prominence or lack thereof: important as well to "The Blessed Damozel," but we ran out of time and may not get to discuss this next class, when we will certainly do Christina Rossetti.
