Comment/Description

This course offers a concise overview of British literary history from the Middle Ages to the present. Individual sessions address the majors concerns of specific literary periods, introduce students to some of the most important writers and their oeuvre in their historical context, and discuss significant socio-cultural and historical events, as well as aesthetic shifts and the developments of different genres. Excerpts (compulsory reading) are used to illustrate these shifts and period characteristics.

Required Reading:
A reader will be available on Stud.IP. The Norton Anthology of English Literature is a good investment for the entire course of your studies.

For the Basic module Introduction to English Literatures (Part 2), students can choose between History of British Literature and History of American Literature; students can attend both lectures if interested but have to finish one with a written exam. Students may not write the exam in both and choose the better result; students have to choose the exam beforehand."
