Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Contents:
The proseminar will provide further theoretical knowledge in the study of English literature and furnish students with practical research skills indispensable to writing an academic research paper: notably, they will learn how to use electronic and conventional research tools (electronic databases, conventional bibliographies, reference books) and will be familiarized with the practice of literary analysis and the contextualized reading of works of fiction, poems and plays. Special emphasis will be given to the practical analysis of the study of motifs and their function in literary texts from various genres and literary periods. The texts selected for discussion in class (providing the topics for the PS papers) will focus on the motif of requited and/or unrequited love. The texts proposed for critical analysis include a narrative poem from Chaucer's "The Legend of Good Women" (c. 1386), Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night“ (c. 1600), poems by Elizabethan, Romantic and Victorian poets, and short stories from the 19th century to the present (including Thomas Hardy, W. Trevor, T.C. Boyle, and contemporary Irish women writers).
