This seminar part of the Basismodul ang070 focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering nine parallel courses. Please make sure that you are registered under ONE of these in Stud.IP.
All parallel courses have a common structure. The texts for our courses will come from a common pool, though each course may have a different choice.
The "analytical tools" will be presented by the lecturers (on a handout) in each meeting. The additional reading from which these 'tools' are taken is not obligatory, and it can be done either before or after each session.
Both the texts and the other materials will be made accessible to you electronically (cf. the links below). In addition you will need to purchase two books:
- Shakespeare, William. The Tempest. Eds. Virginia Mason Vaughan and Alden T. Vaughan. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: A&C Black, 2011.
- Wells, H.G. The Island of Doctor Moreau. Ed. Mason Harris. Peterborough, Ontario: Broadview, 2009.
Course work: You will be asked to write three optional exercise assignments (max. 3 pages), complete a Written Test, and produce a Research Paper Outline (2 pages, due on February 28). The assignments are to be formatted according to the style sheet, and will require you to analyse poetry, drama and fiction respectively, one of which will be tested at the end of the term (Written Test). For the Research Paper Outline you will need to find your own topic to work on and document the preliminary work (this includes finding an appropriate title, writing a paragraph on the state of the art of your problem and one that describes your problem and your goal, and presenting a tentative table of contents as well as a short bibliography).
Two useful links for all assignments:
