【Course Objectives】

 Robert Frost stands as a representative national poet of 20th-century America. His works, smoothly woven out of plain everyday language, have been widely cherished and taught in classrooms across the U. S. as fitting materials for school education. Simultaneously, they possess a depth that challenges critics, promoting many scholars to attempt unraveling the intricacies of his poetry. Frost’s primary characteristic lies in this dual nature.
 This course aims to analyze the unconventional poetic philosophy observed in Frost’s poems, all while examining the traditional rhymes and meters employed in his poetry. Through this exploration, we strive to integrate “knowledge and methodology of English and American literature,” as indicated in the Curriculum Map, and achieve advanced skills in “discussion, presentation, and report writing.”

【Course Contents】

【This seminar is offered in conjunction with Seminar B16 (2 classes per week, 4 credits). Please note that taking only 2 credits is not permitted.】
 In this seminar, we will explore selected works from Robert Frost’s first poetry collection, A Boy’s Will (1913), and the second collection, North of Boston (1914). These include brief sonnets as well as relatively long dialogue poems. Despite being early works from his thirties, each piece already reflects Frost’s distinctive style, a fact that never fails to astonish. Additionally, we will frequently shed light on the American culture and society that surrounded Frost during his lifetime. Understanding literature is inseparable from understanding the culture and society it emerges from.
 The seminar will be conducted through presentations by designated students based on the provided handouts. However, all participants, regardless of their presentation duties, are expected to actively engage and appreciate the materials on their own.
