This course serves as a complement to the lecture "Introduction to
Literary Studies". Basic topics introduced in the lecture will be
discussed in detail in each of the courses, with a particular focus on
the most important literary genres – poetry, drama and narrative
fiction. We will help you to acquire a good command of the basic
analytical techniques in the field of Anglophone literary studies. The
structure of all Introductory Courses to Literary Studies (Grundkurse)
is identical. A variety of texts will help illustrate important aspects
of literature such as the characteristics of the major epochs and
genres, literary theories as well as various approaches to literature,
etc. The texts to be discussed will be taken from a number of regions
across the Anglophone world. You need to read and prepare texts in
advance of sessions and actively participate in the classroom debates on
a regular basis, and you will also need to write a number of short
assignments. Once again: You must take both the lecture and one of the
Grundkurse. You will need the Reader and the two books mentioned above
for your Grundkurs as well as for the lecture.

exemplarischen Beispielen veranschaulicht und vertieft wird. Die

Semester wird nur das Grundkursseminar angeboten.
