A Complete Online Course

Short Description:
An Introduction to Poetry, A Complete Online Course is designed for a first college course in poetry. Assuming no prior knowledge of poetry, it guides the student through the most essential aspects of poetics, the tricky question of interpretation, and the importance of form. It also outlines, in several chapters, the changing ways that poetry has presented itself from the late 16th century through the present.

Long Description:
An Introduction to Poetry, A Complete Online Course is designed for a first college course in poetry. Assuming a student whose understanding of the subject has not made it beyond prejudices about “openness of interpretation,” “expression of feeling,” and “emptiness of meaning,” it uses written and video lectures as well as a number of illustrated videos on poetics created specifically for this book to guide the student through the tricky question of interpretation, the minefield of poetics, into the valley of forms and figures, and finally through the history of the form itself. This introduction treats poetry as a manifestation of language in general, poems being themselves the manifestation of poetry, which exists in bits and pieces in all ways of using words. In its historical overview it traces the changing ways that poetry has presented itself–how it has existed and what has been expected of it and how it has functioned–from the late sixteenth century through the twentieth. One chapter is devoted to the ways the women have been treated in poetry from the time of Chaucer to now. Each chapter is designed to occupy one week of a full-semester course.

Long Description:
This book provides an introduction to the study of U.S. public policy with a focus on both the theories that help explain the policymaking process and the practical skills required for those who wish to pursue a career in a policy-related field. This text explores the topic of public policy through two themes that permeate the book. First, the impact of race, class, and gender on the formation and implementation of public policy, and second, the importance and skill of writing in the field of public policy.

Written specifically for Gustavus students, and featuring contributions from Gustavus alumni, this book is intended for those with some familiarity with the U.S. political system who want to learn more about the policies that govern our lives, want to understand why our policies look the way they do, and want to be able to analyze both policies and the policymaking process in a way that moves beyond the partisan rhetoric that characterizes contemporary politics.
