Poetry and Democracy
ENGL 110
Fall 2006
Section: 01  

Politics and poetry both activate a broad range of issues related to voice and representation. In this course we will study 19th- and 20th-century American poetry, focusing on poems that explicitly or implicitly engage with American ideological concerns. In conjunction with our textual analysis we will consider specifically the representation of individual and group identity, the relation between poetic form and political change, and the special demands on art in times of war.
