Lecture (LEC)
- Topic:
"Romanticism and Its Consequences" This course will attempt to do two things. It will set out to understand the notion of literature inaugurated in Jena romanticism by reading some of its key documents. It will also take the measure of romanticism's influence in the writings that come in its wake, roughly to the middle of the nineteenth century. How durable is the conception of literature born in Jena around 1800? How is it transformed? We will read a broad selection of authors; most texts also appear on the Department's Ph.D. reading list. Texts will include writings by Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis, Tieck, C. Brentano, Kleist, Hölderlin, Günderrode, Goethe, Eichendorff, Hoffmann, Büchner, and Heine. Readings in German; language of discussion to be determined by the seminar. Students will work on a semester-long writing project that consists either in rewriting an existing seminar paper or developing a new one.
