Notes

【Course Objectives】

 It is hardly imaginable, if one looks back from the 21st century, that poetry had occupied a foremost position in literature until just a hundred years ago. Poems were prevalent: they were memorized at home, recited at school, and even set to music to be sung aloud.
 In this course, students will experience the world of those American poems that were received not just as literature but also as music. Emphasis will be placed on the poetic devices and imagination of those poems. 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】

 When it comes to song lyrics as literary works, one often thinks of the lyrics of folk singers including Bob Dylan, who won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. In this seminar, however, we will focus on poems that are even older, such as parlor songs and work songs. This is because many of these poems vividly express the emotions of everyday life of the day.
 Students will also learn about the American culture and society that surrounded those song lyrics. If one does not understand the cultural and societal context, one can hardly understand the literature of a nation.
 This seminar will be carried out by the student in charge giving a presentation based on his/her handout. Those who are not in charge are also expected to appreciate each work on their own initiative.
