This survey course studies the development of literature in English since the Middle Ages and how it relates to the broader cultural and political histories of English-speaking regions. It highlights the diversity of literature in English by examining shorter texts and text fragments that are representative of different literary periods, movements, genres and styles and by paying special attention to women writers and writers of colour from across the English-speaking world. It teaches students to situate literary texts within their literary-historical contexts and discuss them by means of the appropriate literary-historical concepts and literary terms.
Interactive lectures are accompanied by reading assignments that guide the students’ home preparation as well as the discussion in class. Active participation in the course is essential. Students are assumed to have a good level of reading, listening, speaking and writing skills in English.
See Canvas for more detailed information.
