WiSe 15/16: Introduction to Literary Studies - Basic Questions
Brigitte Rath
Comments
This lecture offers an introduction to the study of English literature. Everyone attending this class presumably already reads literary texts in English. This lecture invites students to reflect on what it is one does when interacting with texts and offers an additional broad range of approaches to describe and analyse poetry, prose and drama, including rhetoric, genre theory, and literary history.
The lecture intends to prepare students to become independent readers of literature who combine the pleasure of reading with a more systematic approach to literature that is interested in the effects of literature on readers and the world. It is accompanied by a weekly tutorial ("Working with Literary Texts") where these questions, concepts, and methods will be discussed in smaller groups.
The lecture is held in English.
Note that although attendance is not compulsory, it is highly recommended. It should also be fun.
