Name: ENGL - 561

Title: MODERN AMERICAN POETRY

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2022

Credits: 3

Description:
“On or about December 1910, human character changed,” Virginia Woolf wrote. This change—call it modernism—reverberated throughout American poetry. This course will examine what that change consisted in by considering the work of some of the principal American modernists—including Frost, Stevens, Eliot, Marianne Moore, Jean Toomer, Pound, Langston Hughes, Gertrude Stein—as well as that of their early successors, such as Robert Lowell. Class discussion will attend closely to the social and historical contexts of individual poets and of poetic movements.
