Poetry and Autobiography NEW!

Much of 20th century literary criticism insisted that the speaker of a poem is always a "persona" and must not be confused with the poet. This course offers a contrarian view by examining the strongly autobiographical currents in Shakespeare's sonnets and the most famous poems of Keats, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dylan Thomas, and others. NOTE: A follow-up course, The Poetry of Emily Dickinson (ARTS043) will be offered in the B Session for those who would like to continue their study
