239738 Analysing and Interpreting Literary Texts (British Literature) (S) (SoSe 2013)
Contents, comment
-
This seminar will introduce first-year students to the basics of 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. A reader with primary texts will be provided in the first session.
Students are strongly urged to make time for the tutorial, which offers support in the organization of studies, practices strategies of research and the formal requirements of academic work and repeats material presented in class.
Bibliography
-
A reader containing the literary texts will be made available.
Textbook for all theoretical issues: Michael Meyer, English and American Literatures, UTB, 4th edition, 2008.

- Two essays which display the basic principles of scholarly writing in terms of form, structure, and logical coherence (as indicated in Richard Aczels, How To Write an Essay, Klett 2007 & Joseph Gibaldi, MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 2009.)
- Active participation including careful preparation of the seminar texts, contributions to the class discussions, and a final worksheet with a long set of questions that have to be answered in a satisfactory manner.
- Regular attendance is expected, as class discussions are an integral part of the course's learning objectives. If you miss more than two sessions, you will be asked to make up for them in an interview.
Da in diesem Seminar Fertigkeiten in der Analyse und Interpretation englischsprachiger Literatur vermittelt werden, sind die Seminardiskussionen von zentraler Wichtigkeit. Deshalb ist die Anwesenheit Pflicht. Das Versäumen von mehr als zwei Seminarsitzungen kann durch ein wissenschaftliches Gespräch mit dem Seminarleiter kompensiert werden.
