| Main themes |
In-depth analysis of an author that has marked German literature. A selection of the author's complete work (e.g. Goethe's poetry, prose, theatre, etc.) or one particularly complex work (e.g. Thomas Mann's Der Zauberberg; Robert Musil's Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften) may be envisaged. In this case this book will be situated in the author's complete work and in the context of its publication.
|
| Aims |
The aim of the course is to acquire a deeper insight into the works of an author that has marked German literature.
