Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

This course gives an in-depth reading of the two greatest American poets of the nineteenth century. Some readers consider Whitman and Dickinson the two greatest American poets of any century, and one signal of that achievement is the ways in which both writers developed new kinds of poetry, opening up new possibilities for themselves and for other writers. We place both poets in the historical contexts of the nineteenth century, and we also consider the critical contexts of the century since their deaths.
