| Detailed Course Description: This class will lasso within one large rope a number of movements in British poetry, and focus on treatment (form and content) of various themes, including faith, tradition, myth, war, and landscape. We will read the usual suspects (Eliot, Auden, Yeats, Owens, Reed, Douglas, Hughes, Larkin, Gunn), and some cross pollination form visitors (Plath, for example) as well.
|
| Course Requirements: Exams, papers, a presentation, and a final exam or final essay. There will also be “response” study questions, the occasional quiz as necessary. This course will require a great deal of reading and reflecting, and consistent and thoughtful discussion. Attendance and participation are mandatory.
