This is an intensive reading course in the poetry of Emily Dickinson. We will also read poems and essays by her contemporaries (e.g., Emerson, Longfellow, Helen Hunt). Topics include early poems and prosody, love and gender, definition and riddle, poetics, nature, religion, death and dying, poems in manuscript packets and in letters; suspense, horror, loneliness; pain and despair; self in society and by itself, war, abolition, gender, poetics; late poems and letters.

English majors may fulfill the seminar requirement for the major by taking one section of English 190 (or by having taken either English 100 or English 150 before Fall '09).
