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 Emily Dickinson was also active in those days though many of her sharp-witted poems went unpublished.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.
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.

19世紀のアメリカは詩の時代でした。シガニーらの女性詩人やロングフェローらの炉辺詩人が活躍し広く読まれていました。みずから公刊することなく鋭い詩を丁寧に書きためていたディキンソンもいました。けれども19世紀のアメリカ詩をもっとも代表するのはウォルト・ホイットマンです。アメリカやアメリカ人をみずから代弁し、みずから体現さえしようしていたからです。ホイットマンを読むことなく、アメリカ詩やアメリカ文学を語ることはできません。
そこで本科目では、ウォルト・ホイットマンの詩法と詩想を理解し、ホイットマンの世界を愉しむことによって、カリキュラム・マップに示された「英米文学の知識と方法論を総合」し、高度な「議論・発表・レポート作成」を実現することを目指します。

春学期にはホイットマン入門として、まずは比較的短い詩を読んでいきます。これらはけっしてホイットマンを代表する詩作とはいえませんが、 ホイットマンの懐の広さやその自由な技法を目の当たりにすることができる秀作ばかりです。さらに、比較的長い詩として「揺れやまぬ揺りかごから」を読む予定。ホイットマンの技法のひとつの集大成といえるからです。なお、ホイットマンを取り巻いていたアメリカの文化や社会についてもしばしば光を当ててゆきます。文化や社会が理解できなければ、文学を理解したことにはなりません。
本演習は、あらかじめ定められた担当者がハンドアウトに基づいて発表することによって進められます。担当でない参加者もみずからすすんで 翫味しなければなりません。
