Unlike the texts in other seminars, the poems, plays, short stories and novels to be discussed in this class have nothing in common except the fact that they have traditionally been regarded as “great literature” (which is not necessarily the same as ‘popular literature’). If you enjoy reading literary texts and feel that you have not had the opportunity to confront yourself with some of the ‘biggies’ of Eng. Lit., send me an email and suggest one (or several). The reading list will be compiled by the members of this seminar. There are, however, certain criteria of selection: the list should cover, within reason, the last 1000 years and all three major genres; and it should not contain texts commonly done at school. Historical, cultural and theoretical aspects will be considered as appropriate. The rest is up to you.
Completion of at least one AILT (British or American).

Taking part in class discussions and uploading the requisite number of written homework pieces in the Stud-IP; a seminar paper (3.600 words or eight pages, excl. bibliography.)
