EN 435 - Twentieth Century Poetry

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

While this course will include historical analysis of representative texts, its primary concern will be to examine the interrelationship between the artistic influence that poets exert upon one another and the poetic revolutions that mark the twentieth century. We will begin by studying three key poets from the late nineteenth century and track the profound influence they had on modern poetic thought and technique. As we do this, we will consider many of the major movements of modern poetry including: Symbolist, Imagist, Confessional, Beat, New York, and Language poetry. Along with examining these movements, we will consider a variety of critical approaches as well as the philosophical and perceptual issues that characterize modern poetry. This course will cover European and American poetry.
