A few of the syllabi above, indicated by an asterisk*,
were not originally online but have been made into web pages
for the sake of sharing them with other Romanticists. At the
moment, only elements (names, texts, etc.) appearing in those
syllabi indicated by asterisks will show up show up in a search
of the Romantic Circles Website because only those
are housed at our site. As we gradually acquire for our permanent
database copies of syallbi from the course websites pointed
to by the links above, they will also become searchable. |
