3.00 Credits
Whitman College
Differences in the poetry of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson abound: male/female; accessible/cryptic; expansive/reclusive; Dionysian/Apollonian. What explains the dramatic differences in these two major 19th-century American poets This course will focus first on a careful reading of the poems with analysis of poetic styles, themes, and attitudes of each poet. To explore how these poets have influenced subsequent American poetry, we will consider critical responses to each and conclude with selections from a couple of major 20th-century American poets. A musical evening of settings of poems by Whitman and Dickinson will complement the course.
