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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>date:<\/strong> wednesday sept 6th<br \/>\n<strong>time:<\/strong> 12:10pm-1:00pm<br \/>\n<strong>location:<\/strong> buttrick hall 310<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>_________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>host: lori troxel, professor of the practice in civil &amp;
