This is a writing intensive class. A grade of C- or better in UCWR 110 is required to enroll.
This Undergraduate Research Course (Engaged Learning) will introduce students to the theories and practices of scholarly editing as students assist in producing the Amy Lowell Letters Project (ALLP), a digital scholarly edition of the letters of American poet, critic, and editor (1874-1925). Our focus this semester will be on her correspondences with other poets and with magazine editors. In order to contextualize Lowell¿s career, and the editorial work and collaborative project building at the heart of this class, we will study the New Poetry movement and early 20th century magazine culture, as well as historic debates in scholarly editing, editing correspondences, and literary digital humanities. Students will be trained to encode Lowell¿s letters in XML (Extensible Markup Language) following the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative. This course fulfills both the Engaged Learning Requirement and a Writing Intensive Requirement.
This class satisfies the Engaged Learning requirement in Undergraduate Research.
