This course will introduce key movements in twentieth American poetry with close attention to formal and aesthetic concerns. Initially beginning with aspects of American Modernist poetry, we will chart the emergence and development of a range of differing 'American' poetries from 1945 onwards. Close reading of poems will enable us to establish how poetry investigates and engages with crucial issues such as race, gender, ethnicity and subjectivity. Attention will also be given to linguistic and textual experimentation and how poems address in different ways their readers/ audience. Although the course is not an exhaustive survey, it will allow for some considered reflection on the major aesthetic, cultural and political preoccupations of each period.

ENGL 20430 Modern American Literature at UCD; "Make it new" was Ezra Pound's view of the fundamental role of the modernist writer, and William Carlos Williams wrote of the poem as a "machine made of words." In each, there is a sense of optimism that new subject matter, new forms of expression, and new ways of seeing the world were at hand. However, Pound's internationalism and Williams's localism indicate the complexity of American Modernism in that each directs our attention to the "new" in quite different ways.This course will promote concepts of transatlantic modernism, and the examination of race, gender, politics, social activism as ways of emphasising the plurality of American modernism. Included will be manifestos from the Harlem Renaissance, High Modernist aesthetics, Imagism, Southern Renaissance, Proletarian Realism, and Objectivism, as we analyse the relationship between European and American Modernisms.Required Texts:The New Anthology of American Poetry: Modernisms, 1900-1950. Ed. Steven Gould Axelrod, Camille Roman, and Thomas Travisano (Rutgers UP, 2005).

Taught as "PS 610015" The U.S. is number one in its belief in the importance of the family and of family life; at the same time the divorce rate is the highest in the world and the dilemma of the family, its crisis, decline or even disruption are analyzed in hundreds of sociological or psychological investigations. Not surprisingly, therefore, family conflicts have also been at the center of a great number of plays and films. The course will start out from a socio-cultural definition of the state of the family in American society and then investigate a number of specific problems on the basis of selected works.
