【Course Objectives】

 Poetry often becomes extensive in length. Herman Melville’s Clarel, for example, spans approximately 18,000 lines (and Ezra Pound’s The Cantos or Charles Olson’s The Maximus Poems are also extremely long when taken as a whole), making them difficult to approach lightly. It is certain, however, that all of these works hold an important place in the history of American literature. Furthermore, the existence of such long poems demonstrates the fact that long poetic works, akin to novels, have often been written and read throughout history.
 In this course, following the spring semester, we will continue to read relatively long “medium-length” poems that seem to have recently received little close reading in class. During the fall semester, we will explore works that take us back in time, including John Greenleaf Whittier’s “Snow-Bound”, and Edgar Allan Poe’s “medium-length” poem “The Raven,” either of which can be seen as a representative work of American Romanticism. By critically reading these works and shedding light on their poetic techniques, while also exploring the sense of nostalgia and imagination characteristic of Romanticism, the course aims to cultivate the abilities to “analyze and synthesize content” and to “conduct accurate and objective research” as outlined in the Curriculum Map. At the same time, students will be able to savor the charm of these poems.

【Course Contents】

 When closely reading Whittier’s“Snow-Bound”, we will also read and consider commentary by Robert Penn Warren, a prominent 20th-century Southern critic, writer, and poet. For Poe’s “The Raven,” we will of course refer to his own essay, “The Philosophy of Composition,” in which he explains the background of the poem’s creation and discusses “a distinct limit, as regards length.”
 This seminar will proceed with designated presenters giving presentations based on their prepared handouts. However, participants who are not presenting must also actively engage in appreciating and analyzing the works on their own initiative.
