【Course Objectives】

The 19th century was America’s age of poetry. Female poets such as Lydia Sigourney and fireside poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow stood out and were widely read during this time. Emily Dickinson was also active in those days though many of her sharp-witted poems went unpublished. Among these figures of American poetry, the most significant of the 19th century poets was Walt Whitman. He took it upon himself to speak for America and her people and did his best to personify them. Without reading Whitman’s work, one will not have a sufficient understanding of American poetry or literature.
In this course, students will experience the world of Walt Whitman through understanding his poetic devices and poetic imagination. Students will also work towards the goals of gaining a general understanding of British and American literary methodology and being able to produce high quality, critical presentations and reports as outlined in the Curriculum Map.

【Course Contents】

The spring semester will introduce students to Whitman, beginning with reading relatively short poems. While these poems may not be the definitive works of Whitman, they are excellent examples of his open-mindedness and freedom of literary techniques for students to read through. Furthermore, students will read “Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking,” a relatively long poem, as well. This poem was chosen because it is a veritable compilation of Whitman’s techniques. In addition, students will learn about the American culture and society that surrounded Whitman and his works. If one cannot understand the cultural and societal context, they cannot understand its literature.
In this seminar, students will produce handouts based on assigned passages and present to the class. Those not presenting must be active and willing participants in appreciating the work.
