Learning outcomes

Literature lectures focus either on individual time periods/epochs in German literature, or they may be defined as a developmental exploration of a specific genre, one or more motifs and themes, or types of figures of speech. The list of currently offered lectures including the list of reference literature and study materials is published at the beginning of each term in the syllabi of the German Department.
Students will gain insight into literature and literary criticism in selected periods as well as knowledge on topics dealt with in German language literature. A special emphasis is laid on the knowledge of the historical and cultural-historical context.
