GERM 155 - (LT) Masterpieces of German LiteratureSemester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring
One course from the series (151-156) is offered each semester in a three-year cycle. The primary objective is to develop each student’s ability in the critical reading of outstanding authors in German literature taken essentially from the 18th century to the present. Readings will be chosen according to each student’s prior experience and interests. Rather than a chronological approach with division into literary movements, the student will choose, upon advisement, one or more themes (e.g., the artist and society, literature of social protest, the role of women, the search for identity) which will be pursued by private reading, followed by written reports and/or oral reports to the whole class. The student who has taken four or more courses in this sequence can be expected to have gained sufficient insight into literary genres and movements to be able to undertake, in the senior year, a synthesis of German literature. A detailed personal record of reading progress will be maintained to assure the systematic development of each student’s facility in literary criticism.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Permission of the department, normally after 6 semester hours in the 101-106 category.
