The Desirable Difficulties of Studying Romanticism

Andrew Elfenbein

Abstract

Academics have inherited conventions for the presentation of literature in anthologies that do not take into account difficulties in comprehension that undergraduates have with difficult material, such as Romantic poetry. This article describes two experimental surveys given to undergraduates to learn what instructional materials they find most useful.
