Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will provide a history of narrative fiction, drama, poetry, and non-fictional prose, starting from the 14th Century onward. This course offers an introduction to the canon of English and American literatures, through several major authors/texts and historical contexts. Lectures will provide context for, and entry into, various readings, while also examining the techniques, themes, styles, and traditions that emerged throughout different periods. Students will be expected to read every assigned text carefully, while also using the lectures and powerpoints as guides.

Course outcome:
-Students will be able to recognize literary traditions, techniques, and authors as they emerge throughout the history of English and American Literature
-Students will be able to properly understand how the concept of "Literature" itself changed throughout the centuries.
-Students will be able to detect stylistic and literary techniques employed within the classic, canonical texts.

Literatur

NOTE: Many of the texts we will be reading (up through the 19th Century) are in the public domain, and are therefore available for free online. However, if you'd prefer having useful footnotes and introductions, I recommend purchasing these Norton Anthologies (listed below) instead. Whenever possible, I will also provide the readings on Moodle.

The Norton Anthology English Literature: The Major Authors, Vol. 1
