This course will take place in the LernraumPlus and via zoom.
The aim of this course is to give you the analytical tools to approach and interpret literary texts of all three major genres, drama, poetry and (to a lesser extent) narrative prose.
I will upload texts or point you to online sources.
You will be expected to read a whole Shakespeare play, King Henry V, in addition to shorter poems and passages of narrative prose. You should buy a print edition of Henry V, because that is the only way to academically read a Shakespeare text. Go for New Cambridge Shakespeare (ed. Andrew Gurr): https://www.amazon.de/King-Henry-New-Cambridge-Shakespeare/dp/0521612640/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
or New Oxford (ed. Gary Taylor): https://www.amazon.de/Henry-Oxford-Shakespeare-Worlds-Classics/dp/0199536511/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=henry+V+gary+taylor&qid=1601643286&sr=8-2
or Penguin (ed. Claire McEachern): https://www.amazon.de/Henry-Pelican-Shakespeare-Claire-McEachern/dp/0143130242/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=henry+V+penguin&qid=1601643355&sr=8-1
You CANNOT use internet texts or German editions or any other version that doesn't have textual notes, annotations and line numbering. This is non-negotiable.

NOTE: You need to be able to participate (i.e. speak) in the zoom sessions. If you have a class directly before or after this one that takes place at the university in person, i.e. in a classroom, you will find it difficult to find a quiet corner at the university or on the train to participate in this class. In this case please consider taking another class.
