520    In this course, Walt Whitman and the Birth of Modern 
       American Poetry, we'll explore how Walt Whitman broke with
       the tyranny of European literary forms to establish a 
       broad, new voice for American poetry. By throwing aside 
       the stolid conventions and clichEd meters of old Europe, 
       Walt Whitman produced a vital, compelling form of verse, 
       one expressive of the nature of his new world and its 
       undiscovered countries, both physical and spiritual, 
       intimate and gloriously public. Passionate democracy is 
       what Whitman called his invention, and like the inventions
       of Edison, it would transform not only the practices of 
       its field but also the larger dimensions of American life.
       Whitman named what it was to be American, he catalogued 
       and indexed and sang and scribed it, and his influence on 
       his contemporaries and his descendants transcends the 
       boundaries of poetry and becomes, in many ways, the story 
       of young America. By teaching people what Whitman's poetry
       means we'll teach them what makes America America. More 
       than just a history of one poet or a study of his work, 
       this course will provide a framework to investigate the 
       cultural formation of the United States-the birth of its 
       spiritual identity.
