Host: Jessie Hock, Assistant Professor of English

Class: ENGL 8331: Renaissance Lyric
[NOTE: this is a three hour seminar, but guests should feel free to leave at the break halfway through]
This graduate seminar is intended as an introduction to English lyric poetry from the mid-sixteenth through the mid-seventeenth century, as well as an exploration of contemporary theorizations of lyric poetry both around and beyond the Renaissance. While it is not a survey (Shakespeare and Spenser, for example, will get short shrift), we will cover most of the important poetic genres and movements of the period, including petrarchism, metaphysical poetry, cavalier poetry, pastoral, devotional lyric, and more. Furthermore, the seminar aims to support students’ development not just as readers and critics of Renaissance literature and culture, but as readers, critics, and teachers of poetry in general; it will thus function as a practicum of sorts in reading, analyzing, and writing about verse. Throughout the course, we will look both backwards and forwards in time, attending on the one hand to the classical forbearers of Renaissance lyric, and on the other to the payoffs those lyrics have today, in terms of influence but also in terms of theories of lyric. Our focus on the latter will take us, in the final weeks of class, beyond the Renaissance to consider the poet who has come to be vital to contemporary theorizations of lyric, Emily Dickinson, and also into students’ own fields of specialization in the form of presentations on final projects, which will hopefully combine what we have learned of Renaissance lyric with their own interests and fields.
