Revision as of 19:11, 26 September 2023

     under construction
  • Course: Literary History and Literary Studies
  • Time: Thursday 14.30-16.00h
  • Venue: A13 0-027
  • Course Description: This course is designed to accompany the lecture ‘Introduction to Literary History and Textual Analysis’ with additional discussions of the ideas, theories, and texts mentioned there. The course is meant to add to students' construction of a ‘narrative’ of this field, or, in other words, to students’ understanding of the history and culture of literary studies as an academic discipline. Why do we read certain texts? Why do we read them with certain ‘analysis tools’? Each week, we will discuss the contents of the lecture and read texts that will open up this perspective, e.g., by Jonathan Culler, Olaf Simons, Ian Hunter, Catherine Gallagher, etc.

Please, buy and read the following ...

Recommended Primary Reading

Note that there will be no 'primary reading' in the strict sense. However, we will take a look at extracts from various primary texts taught as part of the basis module this term as well as in the previous terms. Ideally, familiarize yourself with the Reading List in British and Anglophone Literatures. The main reading in this course will be theoretical and secondary texts.
