This seminar will introduce first-year students to the basics of British literary studies - the tools of the trade, as it were. Participants will be taught the terms and methods of analysis and interpretation of texts in the three main literary genres, poetry, drama and narrative.
Students are strongly urged to make time for the tutorial, which offers support in the organization of studies and provides an introduction to strategies of research and the formal requirements of academic work, as well as a repetition of material presented in class.
Course book: Please buy a copy of
Michael Meyer, English and American Literatures. 4. Aufl. Tübingen, Basel: Francke, 2011.
A reader containing further literary texts will be made available in the first session.
