【Course Objectives】

 In his late essay “Poetry and Imagination” (1876), which consolidated several lectures, Emerson asserted that the true significance of nature lies not in its tangible reality but in its symbols. He stated that poets, utilizing their imagination, perceive these symbols as if seeing through its actuality. Only those with such imaginative power, he maintained, are worthy of the title of poet.
 In this course, we will meticulously and critically read the imaginative works of poets from the broader American Renaissance period. By exploring the reasons behind their status as poets, students will be able to appreciate the appeal of their works and to develop “the ability to analyze as well as synthesize content” and “the skills to conduct accurate and objective surveys” as outlined in the Curriculum Map.

【Course Contents】

 In this course, we will take a broad view of the “American Renaissance period,” spanning from Bryant’s “Thanatopsis” (written around 1811, first published in 1817), which can be considered the dawn of new American poetry, to Melville’s “In a Bye-Canal” (written around 1857, first published in 1891). Our selection includes works like “Thanatopsis,” which, though often referenced in literary history, are seldom closely examined, as well as pieces that may not be the poets’ representative works but are delightful for their imaginative flights.
 This seminar will proceed through presentations conducted by assigned individuals based on provided handouts. Participants who are not presenting are also required to actively engage in savoring and exploring the materials on their own.
