The document discusses the Neo-Classical period of British literature from 1680-1750. It was called the Neo-Classical age as writers tried to imitate the style of Greek and Roman classics, reviving classical ideals of form and reason. Literature was considered primarily as a means of education and was didactic and moral. Reason was emphasized over emotion. Prose, novels, essays and poetry like odes and heroic couplets became popular. Comedy and tragedy were the dominant drama genres. In general, Neo-Classical literature was characterized by order, structure, restraint and common sense rather than spontaneity or spiritual ideas.
The Augustan Age was a period in English literature from roughly 1700 to 1750. It was named after the Roman emperor Augustus due to its similarities to the Golden Age of Latin literature during Augustus' reign. Writers during this period, like Alexander Pope and Samuel Johnson, followed Neoclassical principles and focused on rules, reason, and wit over emotion. They were influenced by Classical models and wrote in polished, refined styles using forms like satire and the heroic couplet. Prose flourished as well through periodical essays and works of social commentary and early novels by writers like Daniel Defoe and Henry Fielding. Overall, Augustan literature was characterized by its emphasis on order, balance, rationality,
The document provides an overview of the key characteristics and themes of the Romantic period in English literature from 1798 to 1832. It discusses how Romanticism valued imagination, emotion, and individualism over reason; celebrated nature; and featured symbolic and mythic elements. Notable Romantic artists and thinkers, such as Wordsworth, embraced everyday realism and the exotic. While nature was often portrayed idealistically, it could also evoke awe and fear. The movement favored personal expression and freedom from social constraints. Representative paintings from the period are also briefly described.

This document provides background information on 18th century English literature, also known as Augustan literature.

Introduction to romanticism and romanticsDerya Baysal
Romanticism had its roots in the Enlightenment but developed differently across countries. In Germany, it reacted against French ideas and was linked to nationalism. While the Enlightenment viewed nature as something to control through reason, Romanticism saw nature as a mysterious force to engage with through emotions rather than analyze. Romanticism also looked to the past through traditions rather than the future, emphasized individuality and emotion over reason, and impacted art, literature and education by stressing play, emotions, and aesthetics in childhood development.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
