LIT 4033 Fall 2021 Garnder

:This course will familiarize the student with important works of poetry from the High Modernist period—that is, poetry produced in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, generally associated with the free verse movement. It will include such writers as W.B.Yeats, Ezra Pound, HD and Gertrude Stein, and it will take on the principal techniques, themes and values of this innovative period. In addition to reading, discussing and writing about a variety of relevant texts, students will each choose a poet or topic on which to report. There will be two exams: a midterm and a final.
