Learning objectives

The course aims at introducing the students to the most important periods and trends of German 19th Century literature: Classic and Romantic literature, “Vormärz”, “Biedermeier”, Realism. At the end of the course students will possess a thourough knowledege of the topics we dealt with during the lessons, with both regard to historical and aesthetic aspects of the texts. Moreover they will be able to read and analyse the texts in German and explain their knowledge in proper German speech.

Prerequisites and basic notions

To attend the course, the following prerequisites are required:
- Level B1 in German
- mastering the main foundations of textual analysis
- basic knowledge of the history of 19th century European culture

Program

During the course we will analyse literary works by some of the major representatives of 19th-century German literature.

The following texts will be analysed during the lessons:
H. v. Kleist, Penthesilea
E. T. A. Hoffmann, Der Sandmann
H. Heine, Die Harzreise + selected poems
G. Büchner, Woyzeck
A. v. Droste Hülshoff, Die Judenbuche
G. Keller, Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe
T. Fontane, Effi Briest

Extracts from the texts to be read, translated and commented on during the lessons will be available for download on moodle. Students are required to read the texts completely for the exam.

Students will then have to choose one of the following texts to read and prepare autonomously for the exam:
H. von Kleist: Penthesilea
J. von Eichendorff: Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts
E.T.A. Hoffmann: Meister Floh
G. Büchner: Lenz
A. Stifter: Bergkristall
T. Storm: Immensee
G. Keller: Kleider machen Leute

For a general study of the historical-literary period in question, please refer to the following textbook:
W. Beutin et al., Deutsche Literaturgeschichte. Von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart, 8. Auflage, Stuttgart, Metzler, 2013.

Non-attending students are required to choose 2 readings, instead of one, from the reading list to prepare for the exam autonomously, and a critical essay on one of the texts in the programme to be approved by the lecturer.

The main teaching modality is frontal teaching. During the lessons, however, students will engage in short exercises in reading, comprehension and commentary on the texts.
Those who are unable to attend the course, or are made to miss classes, may contact the lecturer to agree on catch-up arrangements.

Learning assessment procedures

The final exam will be oral, held in German, and will cover the entire course programme.
ERASMUS students should please contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree upon the exam modality.

The exam will consist in a conversation aimed at testing:
- depth and wideness of the acquired knowledge
- the ability of critical reflection and analysis of the texts
