SoSe 21: GK-Surveying English Literatures
Wolfram Keller
Comments
The concept of “English Literature” is constantly changing. As our theoretical dispositions, tastes, and ideologies shift and change, new authors, works, new genres etc. are coming into focus and, in turn, affect and transform the academy's theoretical dispositions, tastes, and ideological positions. This lecture series will provide students with an overview of the history of English literatures, from the (early) medieval beginnings via the early modern period, the long eighteenth-century, Romanticism, Victorianism, and Modernism to Postmodernism and Postcolonialism. This survey is not meant to represent a prescriptive canon, however, but rather presents students with a snapshot of how scholars currently conceive of their respective fields of study. This lecture is team-taught, so students will have an opportunity to get to know several of our faculty members and experience their different teaching styles. In view of the pandemic, this will most likely be an online lecture, whereby instructors may choose to give “live” lectures, upload presentations, or provide students with scripts. Further information about the individual lectures will be available on Blackboard at the beginning of the semester. close
