Abstract
This article describes a single class devoted to an experiment in practical criticism. The experiment encourages students to recognize their own capacity as close readers when interpreting an unfamiliar fifteenth-century poem by Thomas Hoccleve. It also encourages students to reflect critically on the practice of criticism, especially the way it determines the standard by which we judge poetry.
