Other information
This course combines training in critical reading and literary analysis with a historical approach to literature.
The first part of the course focuses on the terminology and methodology of literary analysis through an in-depth study of one or several major authors of the 19th and/or early 20th centuries, with a special focus on poetry. The aim is to deepen the knowledge of German literature by dealing with one or several major authors and/or a specific period in depth. At the end of the course, students should be able to recognise, analyse and contextualise the works covered in the course.

They will be asked to express themselves in German in public, in the context of a presentation.
