Course Description
Group A:
This course offers an introduction to literary theory and criticism, literary history, genre poetics and textual analysis and interpretation. Its aim is to give students a thorough understanding of studying literature by
engaging them in hands-on discussions of some major literary texts from the three standard genres: fiction, drama, and poetry. As this is a “Blockseminar”, students will receive study questions from their teacher and are expected to have read Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and some additional material before September 21.
To conclude the course, an achievement review needs to be passed. Its conditions will be explained at the beginning of term. So far, it is important to note that you will be given guiding questions about texts you have to study and interpret yourselves. Questions may address issues of form or content. The achievement review tests the participants’ competence in literary theory and criticism, literary history, genre poetics and textual analysis and interpretation as well as academic working methods.
