The British Studies Basisseminar BM 2.3 "Genres, Authors, Periods" provides an overview of the periods of British literary history and the main genres that we previously attempted in the old-style AILT classes. Each lecturer will give his or her BM 2.3 (or "GAP" as we will call them...) a personal focus (on poetry, drama or narrative prose), but they are all intended to be equivalent to each other, just like the old-style AILT courses. - The focus here will lie on reading texts more closely with the help of the tools you learn in the new AILT lecture. The Studienleistung will be an essay and its revision.
