   Victorian Poetry 26: Last class: Housman after a touch of Yeats and a little Michael Field

   We look at Yeats a little more, then "Michael Field," and then Housman's poem about Wilde and other poems about his own sexuality, and about the intense, Horatian ephemerality of life.  A class in part about why I hope poetry, or some poems, will matter to the students throughout their lives.

   Victorian Poetry 25: Jeff Nunokawa visits to discuss Wilde’s ”Ballad of Reading Gaol”

   Wilde in prison, or in Dante's hell, and the differences and similarities between the grimness of "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" and the charming, dazzling self-delight of his earlier self-presentations, in a class guest-taught by Princeton's Professor Jeff Nunokawa.

   Victorian Poetry 24: The Rhymers’ Club: Fin de siècle poetry, towards Wilde and Yeats

   Another Kipling poem -- "Danny Deaver" and the horror of hanging (in partial anticipation of Wilde's "Ballad of Reading Gaol"), and some discussion of Arnold, Pater, and Wilde as context for Lionel Johnson's "Dark Angel."  Then two versions of Yeats's "Cradle Song."
