Detailed Information
GER20110 - 19th Cent. German Lit.: Romanticism to Realism (Audit) 2017
This module introduces students to key literary texts which exemplify different paradigms in nineteenth-century German culture. By situating the literary texts in their historical, social and political context, this module will also offer students an insight into the intellectual and social conditions of the German-speaking countries during this period of major change and transition. Students will undertake close readings of the primary texts and engage with appropriate secondary material. The module will be taught as a mixture of lectures (held in German), and seminars (held in English). The lectures will provide background information and introduce the texts and some of the main ideas, while enhancing students' ability to follow academic lectures in German. The weekly seminars and a written assignment will provide opportunities for discussion and analysis, thereby developing students' critical faculties.
