This seminar deals with sonnets and sonnet sequences written by American poets from William Cullen Bryant to Robert Frost. Through intent and critical reading of their 14-line poems, 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.
Edwin Arlington Robinson, who can be considered a precursor of early 20th century modernism, wished that sonnet poets would “vanish in irrevocable night.” They seemed to him to be nothing more than poets who composed “songs without souls” in “a shrewd mechanical way.” Robinson, however, echoed this condemnation in a sonnet of his own. When he wanted a poem that would make “the sunset as before” look like a completely new one, he turned to sonnets.
In this seminar, we will focus on sonnets, poems both old and new. And they are American ones. This is because, while there is a tradition in the history of American poetry that can be described as anti-sonnet, there has been an unobtrusive production of noteworthy sonnets since the mid-19th century. In fact, Romantic poets such as Bryant, Longfellow, Poe, Very, Thoreau, James Russell Lowell, and others were working on this traditional European form while at the same time trying to make American poetry independent from the old world. This class will also explore 14-line poems by Robinson, Frost, and others to unveil novelty hidden underneath as well as the struggle the poets experienced.

20世紀初頭のモダニズムの先駆だったともいえるEdwin Arlington Robinsonは、ソネット詩人など「呼び戻せない夜へ消えて」ほしいと願いました。彼らは「魂のない歌」を「そつなく機械的な方法で」こしらえる詩人にすぎないと思えたからです。けれどもRobinsonはその非難を他ならぬソネットでうたっていました。「以前と変わらぬ夕焼け」を新しい夕焼けに見せてくれる詩を求めたとき、その望みをソネットへ託していたのです。
そこで本授業では、この古くて新しい詩であるソネットをとりあげます。しかもアメリカのソネットです。何となれば、アメリカ詩史には反ソネット的といってもいい伝統がある一方、19世紀中盤以降、すぐれたソネットが目立たぬところで作られてきたからです。じっさいBryant, Longfellow, Poe, Very, Thoreau, James Russell Lowellらロマン主義詩人たちは、アメリカ詩の独立を計る一方、ヨーロッパの古い形式であるソネット制作に励んでいました。本授業ではさらにRobinsonやFrostらのソネットも加え、その詩作にはどのような新味や格闘が隠されているのかを考察し、彼らの多様な特徴を体感します。
