Often juxtaposed, Whitman and Dickinson seem to provide perfect foils for the work of each other. This course will take up these two poets as sites of contending practices of prosody and vision. Our investigation will focus primarily upon their poetry, but we also make brief forays into their unique biographical histories, approaches to prosody, and ranges of critical interpretation.
