ENGL 356 - Whitman vs Dickinson

Credits: 3 Prerequisite: One course numbered between ENGL 201 and 295, and one course numbered between ENGL 222 and 299. In this seminar, students read two wild and wildly different U.S. poets alongside queer theory about temporality. Since we are discussing queerness in the past, present, and future, we will also consider 2lst-century reception of 19th-century literature and history, and students will participate in a Nineteenth-Century Poetry Slam. FDR: HL Wheeler.
