Also with weird periodization/categorization. Charles Darwin is "Romantic"? William Blake is "classical"--like Jane Austen? Erasmus Darwin is "baroque"? The logic is not immediately apparent. And the biographical source material seems a bit on the scattershot side. In theory, a good idea; in practice, not somewhere I'd send my students.
