Beschreibung

This lecture course presents an introductory, historical overview of the literary as well as cultural developments in the Anglo-American world and serves to introduce students to a historically contextualized examination of English and American literatures. While this introductory survey presents an epochal outline from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries of initially British and then Anglo-American literatures, it focuses in particular on the developments within the history of American literature and culture from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries.
This lecture course has been designed primarily for second‐semester bachelor’s students. It is part of the ANG-B-LK/B1 module and should be taken in combination with ONE of the BIWEEKLY seminars on “Concepts and Interpretations” OFFERED BY ME. Your performance in both the courses will be assessed via a combined exam, tentatively scheduled on Thursday, 17.07.2025.
Please note that the following schedule is subject to change. Please read my periodic group emails and check Stud.IP course pages regularly for updates, announcements, and changes.
