Course Objectives: | This course is an intensive study of the works of the major 19th Century American poets, considered in terms of critical theory, technique, and form. Students will learn to interpret American poets such as Anne Bradstreet, Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman & Emily Dickinson through recognition of the cultural strands that connect particular poems in a web of meanings, both social and historical. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. The students will do an extensive reading of the 19th Century-American essays and poetry, especially that of the American Renaissance. 2. They will develop an insight about the beginnings of American poetry, especially about how poetry writing started in the US and how it developed towards being a major component of establishing a new nation. 3. They will develop an insight about the significance of poetry of individual, universal and national topics. 4. They will learn about the major literary movements of the 19th Century USA, namely romanticism, transcendentalism and realism. 5. They will learn about the Puritan influences in the works of the later poets. 6. They will learn about the basic ideas shaping the poet’s imagination and the most important concepts in the construction of a new Nation, during their Renaissance. 7. They will develop the ability to analyze and discuss major issues of American Poetry in the 19th Century both orally in class and in their essays in exams. |
