Course work: You will be asked to write three ungraded exercise assignments (analysing poetry, drama, and fiction, respectively, max. 3 pages each; and composing a short bibliography, max. 1 page each) and produce a research paper outline and a problem-oriented sample analysis of a relevant passage (RPO+, due on February 28). Both the outline and the sample analysis are preparatory steps for the research papers you will be asked to produce in future seminars. For this RPO+ you will need to find your own topic to work on, 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) and write up a formal and genre-specific analysis of a passage that fits in with the research question and thesis statement put forward in your RPO. All assignments are to be formatted according to the [https://www.uni-oldenburg.de/fileadmin/user_upload/anglistik/download/BM7/materials/Leitfaden_Lit-Cult_2017-2018.pdf style sheet].

TUT "Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature" Course Outline "Introduction to the Critical and Scholarly Discussion of Literature"

This seminar is part of the Basismodul ang070 and focuses on techniques of textual analysis in the context of discussing literature. We are offering eleven 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 focus on different text passages.

The "analytical tools" presented on the handouts will be discussed at the beginning of each meeting and then applied to the texts. The additional reading on which the handouts are based 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. Hamlet. Eds. Ann Thompson and Neil Taylor. The Arden Shakespeare, third series. London: Bloomsbury, 2016. Print. [ ISBN-13 ‏: ‎ 978-1472518385 ]
  • James, Henry. The Turn of the Screw. Eds. Deborah Esch and Jonathan Warren. New York and London: Norton, 1999. Print. [alternatively, you may of course also use the current Norton edition: James, Henry. The Turn of the Screw. Ed. Jonathan Warren. New York and London: Norton, 2020. Print.(ISBN-13 978-0393420371)]

Course work: You will be asked to write three ungraded exercise assignments (analysing poetry, drama, and fiction, respectively, max. 3 pages each; and composing a short bibliography, max. 1 page each) and produce a research paper outline and a problem-oriented sample analysis of a relevant passage (RPO+, due on February 28). Both the outline and the sample analysis are preparatory steps for the research papers you will be asked to produce in future seminars. For this RPO+ you will need to find your own topic to work on, 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) and write up a formal and genre-specific analysis of a passage that fits in with the research question and thesis statement put forward in your RPO. All assignments are to be formatted according to the style sheet.
